Presents each child's own story,
By
This review is from: My Special Family: A Children's Book About Open Adoption (Paperback)
This book has places to add pictures and details to tell your child's own story. My daugther, nearly two, enjoys looking at pictures of herself, her Mommy and Daddy, and her birthparents as I read to her about her adoption. The only negative thing, in my opinion, is that the colors and animated characters are dull. It needed a lot of stickers, pictures and drawings to make it more interesting for our daughter.
