3.0 out of 5 stars Not for kids adopted at older age, April 14, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: "A" is for Adopted (Hardcover)

This book starts out talking about adoption and how the birthmom loves the baby so much and makes a plan for the adoptive parents. This is really only appropriate if the reader was adopted at birth. For so many of us this is not the story! I chose not to let my kids read this!

3.0 out of 5 stars r is for redundant, August 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: "A" is for Adopted (Hardcover)

while this book has some nice touches, it really does not have enough themes to take it through the alphabet and it a little more religious than the name implies.

This review is from: "A" is for Adopted (Hardcover)

What a BEAUTIFUL book!! I think it will be the perfect way to introduce the concept of adoption to our son. It starts with references to a special birthmom and tells how God had a special plan for a special baby. I cried the first time I read this book. I am so glad I bought it!!
