A long-awaited baby is born, and the adoptive parents who have been dreaming of her fly far, far away to bring her home.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: My favorite adoption book Comment: I am an adoptive mom and I have bought this book for all the babies I know. This book is beautifully illustrated and has such a touching story line. It is an easy story to follow for all ages of children. Customer Rating: Summary: Beautiful Illustrations Comment: First, this is a pretty book. My 4-year old likes this book; however, I have changed some of the wording to fit our perspective about adoption. Instead of "the lady" (what odd language) we use birthmother. Also, I skip the "meant to be" theme. I think that is sugar coating the truth a bit much(I'm sure it appeals to the red thread crowd, though). I'm sure my daughter wasn't "meant to be" abandoned, separated from her birthfamily, medical history & orginial culture. I like the book "The Color of Us" by the same author much better. Customer Rating: Summary: This is perfect for our family. Comment: I bought this at a christian store a few blocks away from our house 3 1/2 years ago before the adoption of our 3 year old daughter. This was perfect it explains in a way that my daughter will understand what happened, but still feel happy. like it says "you were blooming like a flower in someone else's tummy" They understand in a good way. My daughter is too young to understand now but she will later when i read her this story. I think this is the best adoption book I have seen. Customer Rating: Summary: Colorful, expressive, and wonderful Comment: We found no faults with this book and we are really picky. We loved the use of colors and the wording used in this book. Customer Rating: Summary: Lovely adoption tale Comment: My two year old daughter, born in Guatemala, and I both love this book. The illustrations are fantastic and the text is sweet. At the end the parents tell their new daughter that they will always be her parents and she will always be their daughter, and my daughter often repeats this. Highly recommended! More Reviews
