Adoption is about love for the child, not that the child was not wanted. This heart warming book is aimed to help children and parents understand what one birth mother was thinking when she decided to adopt. Written in her perspective, she tells her child the reasons why she chose adoption for her baby. A great conversation starter for parents, or companion book for adopted children to discuss with other children, this is a unique journey for any child of any age.

A message of affirmation for children who were adopted,
This review is from: The Best For You (Paperback)
"Adoption is God's Love given twice."
This message comes though loud and clear in Kelsey Stewart's debut, The Best for You. This little book, targeted for the younger child who was adopted (ages 4-8) packs a big and positive message; one that answers the common questions: "Did she love me?" "Why did she give me away?" and "Does she think about me?" Stewart's beautiful illustrations are spot-on, reinforcing the warm and candid message that she shares. Her simple words speak directly to the child from her birthmother's perspective. The Best for You is a joy to read and look at. The broad scope of the book is perfect for children who are fostered as well as children who were adopted through foster care, domestic adoption, or international adoption. I will be giving this book as a gift to future adoptive parents after witnessing my daughter's reaction, "It's good, Mom. She loved her baby and made her choice for her baby. You know, that's what my birthmother did." by Judy M. Miller for Story Circle Book Reviews reviewing books by, for, and about women

Lively and Lovely,
By Sally Bacchetta (Webster, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best For You (Paperback)
Stewart's book is a gift to the heart, mind and spirit. Her candid style and colorful drawings beautifully illustrate the love behind her decision to place. Although everyone experiences adoption differently, I can't imagine a birth parent, adoptee, or adoptive parent who wouldn't enjoy this lively and lovely reassurance of the permanence of a mother's love. Thanks, Kelsey, for expanding my adoption library with your beautiful book.
