For the love of a child

In a mere 25 pages, with simple text and beautiful pictures, the story of a China adoption unfolds. My own China girl loves looking through the pictures and seeing the country of her birth. She never tires of it. It is not only her story but hundred's of Chinese children's story. My favorite picture is of the two pairs of quilted children's pants, hanging from the clothes line. Thank you for sharing this story! A good addition for your personal library.

We bought 15 copies of this wonderful book!

We will soon travel to China to unite with our daughter. Early in our adoption process, we happened upon this remarkable book. We bought 15 copies and sent them to friends and family. The feedback we received from the recipients of this special gift recognize that this book is a wonderful way to share the joy of adoption of a chosen child from China with loved ones. We recommend it to all - parents of internationally adopted children and the warm and wonderful community of extended family and friends who love them!

A charming, simply-told adoption tale.

My 2-year old daughter loves this book! At first, she simply loved to look at all the pictures of the babies. When we reached the anniversaries of our referral and her adoption day, we used the book to help explain to her the significance of those dates. I'm sure it will remain a favorite as she grows older and her understanding of her story increases.

What a beautiful book, put together from the heart!

Not only did we enjoy the scrapbook style, but the text is "from the heart" of these parents adopting a Chinese daughter. It tells a tale I hope we will be telling soon, and reading to our little girl. Thanks to the mom and dad who wrote this!

Very nice book

We are adopting from China. This book is an excellent ice breaker. We put it on our coffee table and it has appealed to my 75 year old father in law and my 5 year old niece. Everybody falls in love with the cute little girl. It puts a face on the abstract and foreign (excuse the pun) concept of international adoption.
