adoption

Many children's adoption books have a particular slant i.e. single parent adoption, or international, or domestic, newborn, older child... This book covers all aspects. It's detailed, informative, and humorous. The question and answer format appeals to both parents and children. It's a book you should have on your child's bookshelf and re-read as your child grows and develops new awarness about their sometimes complicated lives.

I was trying to understand at what age an adoptee could understand this book, or have the patience to listen to the very intricate explanations as to what it means to be adopted. The child will even have to know who the former presidents Herbert Hoover and Gerald Ford were. I think the authors are trying way too hard to convince the child that adoption is okay. It was hard for me, as an adult, to finish reading the book. Look at Rose Lewis's book, I Love You Like Crazy Cakes, and you see how little needs to be said to enchant the adopted child.
Gisela Gasper Fitzgerald, author of ADOPTION: An Open, Semi-Open or Closed Practice?

I'm almost 23 years old and since I can remember my parents have been reading this book to me. Every year on my adoption day they'd pull the book out and read it to me and then answer any questions about my adoption I had. It wreally helps for those times that you just don't know what to say. I would recommend it to anyone!
