2.0 out of 5 stars Could Have Been So Much Better, September 24, 2001

Janine C DeLarme (Bellevue, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Koala for Katie: An Adoption Story (Library Binding)
I was so excited to read this new book to my 2 1/2 year old adopted son, but the farther I read, the more disappointed I became. I think the author's (Jonathan London) choice of words in explaining adoption were VERY poorly chosen. When Katie asks about her "real" mother, I just about lost it. Mr. London needs to understand that the adoptive parents ARE the REAL mom and dad. In relating this story to small children he could of at least used real and relevant words like "birth mother/birth parents."

Adopted children can be confused enough as it is, but using this misleading language is totally unnecessary.
