Early days,
Travel and new worlds,

and more!
We have oodles of stories from adopted children and teens and many more from older adoptees and family members of adoptees.
The book includes over 200 intriguing stories from adoption adventures -- many from the point of view of the adoptee, as well as many that will help parents understand the adoption journey.
These stories will be of interest and help to adoptive families,
teachers, counselors, health care workers, prospective adoptive
parents, foster parents, and adoptees themselves. There are also blank pages where adoptees can write their own adoption story. The book is a precious keepsake.
You'll read stories that are fun, funny, and inspiring. Some are
sad. Others present the challenges that kids and families have faced
as they have transitioned from orphanages or foster home to their new
home, family, and culture.
Topics include everything from challenges overcome to successes to
"firsts" to adjustments. Here are a few of the titles of stories by
kids and teens:
My Born Family and My New Family (by an 8-year-old adopted at age 5 from Guatemala)
My Name (by an 11-year-old adopted at age 7 from Russia)
Losing Friends (by a 12-year-old adopted at age 9 from Kazakhstan)
Fitting In (by a 10-year-old who has physical challenges)

Adoption Questions (by a 16-year-old adopted as an infant in Korea)

The book is an amazing resource for all who have a connection to or interest in adoption.
