Title: Reality for little kids
Review: 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
