Adopted children have questions. Parents do not always have the answers. Letter of Love From China

Adopted children have questions. Parents do not always have the answers. Letter of Love From China is a love letter to a child from her birth mother. It would be very difficult to give a child up for adoption. I can only imagine the pain. There are situations where it is for the best interest of the child. A birthmother that wants more for her child is to be commended, never ridiculed. I have friends that have adopted children from China. I intend to give them a copy of this delightful book. Letter of Love from China shows children how special they are. This book opens discussion on birth parents, and the country of their birth. The illustrations are wonderfully done.

The ultimate love for children

I was so impressed with the beautiful message and captivating illustrations of this book! As a licensed clinical social worker and upcoming occupational therapist, I have worked with dozens of adopted children who long to understand and organize emotions related to their life changing adoption. The author, a mother of an adopted child herself, has created a story that serves as an excellent tool for caregivers of adopted children to do just that. I highly recommend this book to all parents of adopted children, as it paves the way for children to express emotions and thoughts to their parents with ease. Creating this opportunity for your children is critical to the parent-child relationship. Most importantly, this books reminds all people of the ultimate love- selfless love- that every child so much deserves.

Beautiful Book

The illustrations in this book are gorgeous and they go along well with the story. The characters all look so soft and sweet, the illustrator has an amazing talent and she deserves recognition! Way to go ladies!

A Beautiful Resource for Adoptive Parents

When adopted children do not have access to a birthparent and the answers they are looking for, adoptive parents become the sole source of this information - and their child's perception of what it means to be placed for adoption. As a birthmother, with an agenda of spreading the word on the love that goes behind this decision, I was extremely pleased to receive a copy of Letters of Love from China by Bonnie Cuzzolino. In an effort to provide answers to her daughter, adopted from China, author Bonnie Cuzzolino brings us an endearing children's book written as through the voice of a birthmother who writes to answer her child's questions. Illustrator Jax Bennett brings the letter to life with beautiful pictures that share the birthmother's love of her child and her country. The book begins "To My Precious Daughter," and provides the story of the birthmother's thoughtful but difficult decision to place her child with another family through adoption. The love that drives this decision is undeniable. Then, the book goes on to tell the child a bit about the country they were born in, China. The descriptions and illustrations share the traditions and beauties of the country that anyone can appreciate. By following this format, the book not only lets the child know how much they are truly loved (by birth families and adoptive families), but shows a respect for their beginnings and the country where their life began. The book helps children to see their self-worth and be proud of ALL that makes them who they are. It is a beautiful resource for adoptive parents with children from China, and an inspiration for all adoptive parents on how to talk with their child about being adopted. I highly recommend Letters of Love from China, and commend author Bonnie Cuzzolino for her insight and love when creating this heartwarming book.
