Good for adoptees and their friends

I like this book for my pre-schooler, who is now learning about her adoption. It introduces different kids who are adopted, so it helps her see that there are a lot of kids with this experience. It has some silly things that appeal to her sense of humor (like a lizard named Fingers) and some serious things like why a birthmother might choose adoption. The birthmother is young and it does imply that the reason is because birthparents are young, which is a drawback to this story. One other positive thing is that it is appropriate to give to friends who might be curious about adoption, even though they are adopted themselves. We have given this book to my daughter's friends as well as her school because it's general enough to be interesting to everyone.

Reality for little kids

This book was a birthday gift for our small naturally born daughter on the eve of our adoption of an older child from a foreign land.Unlike most other readily available adoption titles for little kids (with the exception of Let's Talk About Adoption), this book shows real photos of real babies, kids, birthparents and adoptive parents.It explains in very simple terms why some parents cannot care for their children, and would choose to place them for adoption. It also shows photographs of real adoptive parents who cannot bear children of their own, who desperately want children.And it introduces the idea that adults have often been adopted too. One child in this book tells his teacher that he was adopted, and the teacher confides that she too was adopted as a child. Altogether this book provides a great introduction to the beauty of adoption as a way to build a family. Being a family means loving one another no matter what. Alyssa A. Lappen

Adoption Stories for Young Children

This book was a excellent example to adoption. Children of any age are able to understand.
