Book Review: Good for single parents
Summary: 2 Stars
I was dissappointed in this book -- it only had a mommy and not a daddy.. TOO BAD!!! because the drawings of orphanage are sooo good and accurate. Big dissappointment..I would never have purchased.. But great if you are a single mom who adopted..Book Review: Great book about adoption
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for my adopted daughter. She is only 1 but I want her to know how adoption feels from her mothers point of view. She was not adopted from China, but she will understand adoption is a wonderful thing and happens in many different ways. Book Review: The best
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the sweetest book. As a single, adoptive mother it really touched my heart. Book Review: This is a beautiful book
Summary: 5 Stars
Like most of the other reviewers, I am in the process of adopting from China, and I absolutely love this book! I too cry sometimes thinking about my future daughter: is she born yet? Is she happy? Is she well cared for and loved? I also wonder about her birth mum. Women in China are often forced to have abortions for pregnancies that have not been approved, so for any woman in China to give birth and then have to give up her baby must be the saddest thing in the world for them. My grandmother had given up two of her sons years ago, and she never fully recovered from it. I love that the book presented this concern. It's not just some sweetness and light kids' book. It tells the true (often sad) story of families created via adoption.
On another note, I've noticed many people complaining about how no father is included in this book. There are only about a thousand other adoption books out there with a nuclear family, so why begrudge one with a single mum? Other parents have made this book work with their children from Russia, why can't you make it work by adding other pronouns or explaining that the woman in the story was not married but wanted to give a baby a loving home and that fathers are very important and she probably wished that she had had a husband but hadn't met the right man at the time? If you absolutely need a book based on a nuclear family's exprience, there are many out there from which to choose. But if you want a deeply moving story that will appeal to your child more and more as the years go by, and one s/he will keep well into adulthood, this is the book.
Book Review: Touching
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is so special. It shows the love of an adoptive mother to her child. A must for any adoptive family.
