5.0 out of 5 stars The Chosen Baby, November 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Chosen Baby (Hardcover)

27 years ago, I never knew what this book would mean to me. My parents bought one for my sister and then for me as we were adopted. They read it to us, and we understood as much as any toddler/child could. We knew how the adoption went, and to what ends out parents would go for us. But now I look back on my copy of this book, and smile. We spent a lot of time with it. It is colored in, and written on, and the binding is falling apart. I must have loved this book as much then as I do now. THank you. I'm buying a copy to give to a friend who just adopted a little Korean Boy. I hope he loves it as much as we did.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Chosen Baby, December 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Chosen Baby (Hardcover)

I'm almost 60 years old, and was adopted 60 years ago. I remember this book. I would recommend it to anyone with an adopted child under the age of 5 or 6; it's a primitive reader, with lots of pictures.

My mother recently died, and among her effects was this book - which she wanted to go to my sister, who is also adopted. I'm hoping amazon.com can come up with a used copy for me, maybe more than one so I can use it as a gift for someone I know.

When I was adopted I was given this book. Of course, that was in the nineteen forties. This book has little value today describing the adoption process for children. At the time, however, it was excellent. I keep it as a memory.
