Adoption can be complicated for little ones to understand and this book helps. Inside the covers readers find a story of love written in poetry that children and adults will enjoy. The rhyme scheme and drawings are fun and poignant, and draw readers into the adoption journey. This journey is specifically designed to tell the story of parents adopting Russian children . From the decision to adopt, through the application process, and the waiting, readers will feel the love that accompanies adding someone to the family. They will also see that adoption is complicated, especially international adoption, and will want to support families who are waiting. Little ones will wait in anticipation of a future brother or sister joining their home.
I really enjoyed this little book. It felt especially special to me because I have friends who adopted two Down's Syndrome girls from Russia. The love and support that they shower on their daughters is amazing, and they are always talking about how thankful they are for the support they have been given every step of the way. I recommend this book to families everywhere to promote understanding of the entire process. Thank you, BookLook Bloggers for my review copy. The review is all mine.
