Book Reviews of When You Were Born in China: A Memory Book for Children Adopted from China
Book Review: Invaluable book for children adopted from China
Summary: 5 Stars
....Sara Dorow's book tells adopted children, "Chinese peoplelove children, and family members are very close to one another." It does not suggest that American parents love children better....When You Were Born in China is sensitive and respectful to China, to Chinese birth parents, and to all the people in China who care for orphaned children in China's social welfare institutions. It is a superb book, and its explanation of the reasons children become available for adoption in China is a masterful combination of accuracy and concision. Every adoptive family with a child from China should have this book in their child's collection.
Book Review: Very Good Resource to Explain China Adoption to Child
Summary: 4 Stars
Being one of over 4000 adoptive parents waiting for referral of a child from China, I found this book to be a very helpful resource that I will add to my future daughter's library. I will simplify and personalize some of the explanations from this book to create her own personalized memory book about China and her adoption.Book Review: It's a bad book .
Summary: 1 Stars
it's not possible at all that the Chinese don't love their children.In China,chilren are regarded "the young king"or "the small sun".all the family members try their best to present food ,clothing and education to their kids .The love them even more than the Americans do.Are there campus-gunkilling in China?never! It's simple-minded to say China parents don't love children.As long as the human being ,children are his or her part of life.What does the nationality matter?Book Review: An aid to explain to family & friends
Summary: 5 Stars
Thanks to the misinformation doled out by the sensationalistic Western media, many misconceptions about the cultural/family situation in China exist. ("China sells babies"; "The Chinese don't love their children", etc.) When my wife and I adopted our daughter, we gave copies of this book to our parents and friends to help them understand her beginnings, just as we will use it to explain to her when the inevitable questions will arise. It's a great tool to bridge the cultural gap.Book Review: A must for any FCC family's library
Summary: 5 Stars
This book tell the story of a journey similiar to the one we took for our daughter. It also provides a perfect medium to explain to children and other members of the family. Everyone in our travel group say it is a must have book especially for the older siblings to understand where their sister came from.
