We will soon travel to China to unite with our daughter. Early in our adoption process, we happened upon this remarkable book. We bought 15 copies and sent them to friends and family. The feedback we received from the recipients of this special gift recognize that this book is a wonderful way to share the joy of adoption of a chosen child from China with loved ones. We recommend it to all – parents of internationally adopted children and the warm and wonderful community of extended family and friends who love them!
Rating: 5 / 5
This book will be of interest only to friends and family of the author, but unfortunately boring to everyone else. It consists of 22 pages with one or more family pictures on each page and a few lines of text. Very much like a family album. If you know the author you may enjoy it. If you don’t know the author, go look at your neighbors family album for free. It will be equally interesting.

This book is definitely too old for my 3. 5 year old son to introduce him to the story that will be his little sister’s. He cant bridge the gap that this story is relevant and about someone else. So my task remains hard to find books that can introduce preschoolers to the concept of their new sibling adoption. Anyway, the terms and concepts seem dated, but the book does give me ideas for my new daughter’s life book. So in that respect I found it very useful.

This books states that the abandoned babies in China do not have parents who love them. These babies are abandoned because of the government’s rules and ramifications of having more than one child, not that are unloved. I do not want my daughter to think she was not loved by her birth parents, but abandoned due to circumstances beyond their control. I feel the statement in this book that these girls were unloved could have serious ramifications on them, hence I got rid of my copy of this book before my daughter got old enough to understand it. This book features the author’s trip to China with limited pictures and information. There are much better books out there about adopting from China.

Not only did we enjoy the scrapbook style, but the text is “from the heart” of these parents adopting a Chinese daughter. It tells a tale I hope we will be telling soon, and reading to our little girl. Thanks to the mom and dad who wrote this!
