Review: I think this book is great!!!! It approches the adoption issue in a humorous and understanding way for children, not like other books that seem rather depressing. Even my co-workers and I enjoyed reading it. The pictures are even great!

Summary: A bit wordy, but good
Review: I very much like the concepts covered in this book. It is an excellent tool for letting your children express their feelings, such as feelings of grief over the loss of the birthparent relationship, etc. It is a little wordy, especially for younger children, but you can skip over some of the longer sections and read the main points on each page and still give the younger ones quite a bit of meaningful content. It is a great tool for starting conversations with your children about their feelings on being adopted.

Summary: Too dense and tense about adoption
Review: 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.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: 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!

Summary: Broad-based Adoption Information for Children
Review: 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. Susan M. Ward, mama to Hannah, adopted at age 6

Summary: Wonderful Book
Review: My husband and I are in the process of adopting a child. My brother-in-law's niece, who is now 16 loaned us her copy of this book. She was adopted as an infant and when she heard we were adopting, she pulled this book out for us. She remembered reading this book as a child and told us how it helped her to feel that she was special. It is a wonderful book and is written in words that a small child can understand. I am orderig a copy for myself.
