The style of this book is a bit old fashioned, as the illustrations are in black and white. The longer text make this book most appropriate for children ages In this book we meet Cecilia, who has known since she was a baby that she was adopted. However, she had never really thought about what that meant until recently, and her new understanding has brought up a lot of emotions. But her parents support her to starting learning more about her birth family. There is an ancient Chinese belief that an invisible red thread connects all those who are destined to be together.

This belief, which is commonly heard in Chinese adoption circles, is at the center of this fairy tale story. A king and queen feel a pain in their heart, and no doctor can help them. Then one day, an old peddler comes to their kingdom and tells them a red thread is being pulled from their hearts. So the king and queen set out to learn who is pulling on the red thread.

They traveled across land, across the ocean, and through small towns. Eventually, they follow the red thread to a little baby girl! This book will be most enjoyed by children ages 4 to 8. Aoki and Jean Davies Okimoto. This book is about the journey taken by four different families who adopt infant girls from China. All fly to China to meet their forever children and settle in for a short stay in China until they are able to bring their children home. And the families keep in touch when they return to the US, sharing cards and pictures of their quickly growing children.

This book will have special meaning for parents who stayed at the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou, China. But this book will also be enjoyed by children ages who were adopted from China. Many adoption books talk about parents rushing off to get bottles and cribs, but children adopted at older ages may not relate because they were past that stage when they joined their forever families.

Secrecy and Disclosure in the History of Adoption

This book acknowledges that parents who adopt their children at older ages miss many of the early milestones, but it draws attention to the many, many life events that parents and children will still share. These include first time swimming across the pool, first day of middle school, going trick-or-treating, telling bedtime stories, kissing boo boos, and more.

This book is most appropriate for children ages 4 to Book contains religious references. The story itself is told through the eyes of Lucie.

Adoption Placement Act (Adoptionsvermittlungsgesetz – AdVermiG)

One day her aunt and uncle arrive, and she is surprised to see that her aunt has a stomach the size of a beach ball. Her aunt is pregnant! Lucie wonders about the baby: is he eating? Seeing her pregnant aunt brings up all sorts of questions for Lucie about her own adoption.

She wonders about her birth parents. Her dad then tells her something special about her fingerprints. He explains that her fingerprints are special, because no one else in the whole world has fingerprints just like hers. Plus, her fingerprints will stay the same throughout her entire life. This book is most appropriate for children ages 5 to While most books about adoption are written by adoptive parents, this book is unique because it was written by an eight-year-old girl who was herself adopted.

Ying Ying Fry was adopted from China as a baby. In this book, she tells us about how she was adopted as a baby and she brings us with her as she travels back to China to visit the orphanage where she lived during her first months. Although some of the information about why children in China are typically placed for adoption is a bit outdated as Chinese culture and society have changed, this book would be a rich resource for children adopted from China or for others wanting to know about their friends and family who have been adopted from China.

This book is most appropriate for children ages 7 and up. This book is written by an adoptive mom as a way to share her story with the daughter she adopted from China. The woman — who appears to be single — wants a baby. She writes to China to ask if she can adopt one of the babies in the orphanages there. Eventually, she gets on a plane to China and meets her baby girl. At that moment she is so happy she cries!

The mom tells how she put her daughter in the crib and kissed her good night and fell in love with her. She tells of playing with her daughter and taking pictures of her wearing silly hats. And she tells how they flew back to America where everyone wanted to meet the newest member of the family. And finally, the mother tells how she held her baby tight and shed tears for her Chinese mother who could not keep her.

I appreciate that this book mentions the birth parents and the sadness they most likely felt at not being able to raise their daughter. This book will be enjoyed by children ages 4 to 8. Families Are Different by Nina Pellegrini. The two sisters fight a lot, but also love each other a lot too. She loves giving kisses to her mom and dad. Then Nico realized she is just like everyone else.

And the big message in this book is that families are created with love. This is a sweet book for sharing with children ages 3 to 7. This family consists of two boy penguins, Roy and Silo, who fall in love. They walk together, swim together, and sing to each other. But while Roy and Silo can do many things, they cannot lay an egg like the other penguin couples.

One day, the zookeeper brings Roy and Silo an egg that could not be cared for by its biological parents. Roy and Silo take turns keeping the egg warm until one day the egg hatches.

Adoption and Foster Care in Children's Literature

All the issues they talked about in the book I pretty much experienced too such as not having a safe home to live in and not enough food etc. Classic picture book about siblings Charlie and Lola which has also been made into a popular animated TV series.

I could see myself and my brother being the characters. It was funny with interesting concepts, Charlie convinces his sister in an interesting and imaginative way. ALL kids should read this. Percy to the rescue!

Percy is like an adoptive parent really because he cares for the squirrel and helps him get better. Mia has different hair and eye colour to her mum and dad. In a dialogue between a little girl and her adoptive mother, this simple, reassuring book explores some of the questions that adopted children ask. My mum read this book to me when I was six, we read it together, over and over night, it helped me sleep. I liked it because it made me feel special and happy. It also says it is okay to be sad and frustrated sometimes.
