"Adoption Is Okay" introduces the concept of adoption to children from preschool through school age. In simple language the child learns about leaving Russia to join a forever family. Throughout the experience, the child is given permission to feel and express all her emotions from joy to confusion to sadness. The story ends celebrating this special child.
The child’s story is written in English and Russian. This book will aid orphanage staff in preparing a child for adoption by an American family, and help the parents after placement, as they guide their child through her adjustment to a new family and unfamiliar surroundings.
Though written about a Russian child going to the United States, this story is universal and will be a comforting and validating story for any foreign-born child being adopted by an English speaking family.
