Review
Although adoption is not a topic likely to come up in our family conversation, I do have friends who have adopted orphans and who have discussed with me their issues and concerns. This book is a super easy and pleasant read. It not only helps children to understand the distinction as well as connection between biological and adoptive parents, but also enlightens people like me, who used to think it best to avoid talking about adoption with children who are adopted.
While the book is geared toward children affected by adoption, it can be educational for everyone, offering a simple yet creative illustration of a complex process. Written by someone with first-hand experience, the book is an excellent primer for all those who are interested in exploring the world of (open) adoption.
