Helpful book

I, too, feel this book has some merit. It is a quick read that can be given to friends and family have little knowledge about adoption and the adoption language and ways to talk about adoption with children and others. Most people don' t want to read lengthy books and this short but concise book would be perfect.

Helpful for friends/family unfamiliar with adoption

I disagree with the previous reviewer. I have found this a helpful little book to share with friends and family. It is especially helpful to those who have children who ask questions about their adopted friends. It allows those parents to answer the questions using the correct terminology and avoiding the myths of adoption. It is easy for the adoptive parent to customize to their family situation and preferences.
