In the meantime, here are two good books to start your search. Check out your library's website now, and do a search for adoption, or just stop in and ask the librarian to point you in the right direction. When I was training incoming foster and adoptive parents, I would usually stop by the kids' section of the Pasadena, CA library a few days in advance, and stock up on books to pass around during the training.
The library is a good place to start figuring out what books will make it into your adoption library. But it's at least kind of similar, right? Any other night, you can go to the library and Trick-or-Treat for free books. Oh well! Tonight, you and your kids might be out Trick-or-Treating and getting free candy. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.I probably should have saved my review of The Tigger Movie for Halloween, seeing as he's all orange and black, and all of the other characters dressed in Tigger costumes. Jane Dyer, illustrator of the bestselling Time for Bed by Mem Fox, Oh My Baby, Little One by Kathi Appelt, and many other marvelous picture books, uses a pastel palette of watercolors to capture the tender moments between the American mom and her rosy-cheeked Chinese baby. It's an ideal story for lap-time reading, and will inspire parents and kids to talk about their own first "meetings," whether at birth or in an adoption agency. Taking her baby home to America, Lewis introduces her to all her family and friends, and they begin their life together.Ī touching love story, I Love You Like Crazy Cakes will warm the cockles of any new parent's heart, especially those who have recently adopted a child. She travels to China to meet her new little girl and falls head over heels in love. For Rose Lewis, the journey to motherhood begins with a letter to Chinese officials, asking if she can adopt from the "big room with lots of other babies." The infants in that room in China are each missing a mother, but Lewis is missing something, too-a baby. Mother-love is profound, however a baby comes into a woman's life.
