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!

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.

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!!

What does every child need? To know that he/she is loved. This book is a fabulous way to express that love from A to Z. It's a wonderful avenue to help all children, whether adopted or biological, understand how precious and special they are to their parents. My children and I love to read "A is for Adopted" again and again. You will too!

What a lovely way to explain to a child how special adoption is. Every adopted child, whether small or grown, should have this book.

H is for "Heavenly Father..." I almost choked. This book is geared towards families with moms and dads that arranged to get a baby from the birthmother.
Not only that, my 5 yo and 4 you thought it was boring. So did I.
Thumbs Down!

I have given this wonderful book as a gift to several of my friends. Some have adopted children, some are adopted children. I can't think of a better gift for children and adults alike to show what a special gift adoption is. Thanks to Mrs. Cosby for putting in words so beautifully what all adoptive parents feel!!

This is the best book for adoptive families and friends. Our son was 3 when we got it and he loved seeing the alphabet and the cute graphics and adorable "kids". It has no specific references to religion and it is a treasure to read it to your children. We even sent a copy to our son's "birthmother".

The concept of this book is wonderful but I had no idea how many religious references there would be. We are not Christian and much of the text was not applicable to our religion. I was disappointed that this book which at the outset seemed so perfect for our family, was not due to the religious overtones. I returned the book.
