About this title

Review

"This collaboration between an adoptive mother and her daughter tackles weighty topics. "What I love about this book is how it touches on many aspects of adoption that could be difficult to talk about, but not in a threatening or forceful way. It can be used over and over again as children grow" --Adopted Families Magazine the award-winning national adoption magazine, the leading adoption information source for families before, during, and after adoption. Reviewed By Katelyn Hensel for Readers' Favorite..". a sweet and fun book that shows that it's okay to have a family that isn't "traditional." It raises important questions that need to be addressed by adopted families and showcases that love and acceptance are huge parts of what brings families together..." "ABC, Adoption & Me" breaks new ground in the field of adoption experience integration. Useful for children, families, caretakers, and teachers ... uses bright cartoon illustrations to present interracial adoptive families and origin birth families with equal validity and authenticity, as well as many other adoption sensitive issues and topics. "ABC, Adoption & Me" deserves every single one of its many awards and should be a part of every child's library." Midwest Book Review "ABC, Adoption & Me... written in the simple style of an ABC definition book, but the concepts contain a depth than is not often found in a children's adoption book. All three of my girls - ranging in age from 4 to 11, remained engaged and interested as we read each page... I have seen each of my children pick this book up from the bookshelf and reread it multiple times, no doubt gleaning new information each time."--Portrait of an Adoption is hosted by Carrie Goldman, the award-winning author of Bullied: What Every Parent, Teacher, and Kid Needs to Know About Ending the Cycle of Fear.
