4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful for friends/family unfamiliar with adoption, February 12, 2002

By A Customer

I disagree with the previous reviewer. I have found this a helpful little book to share with friends and family. It is especially helpful to those who have children who ask questions about their adopted friends. It allows those parents to answer the questions using the correct terminology and avoiding the myths of adoption. It is easy for the adoptive parent to customize to their family situation and preferences.

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful book, November 27, 2006

By	S. Ellis "gchez" (New Berlin, WI USA) - See all my reviews

I, too, feel this book has some merit. It is a quick read that can be given to friends and family have little knowledge about adoption and the adoption language and ways to talk about adoption with children and others. Most people don' t want to read lengthy books and this short but concise book would be perfect.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad Book, September 13, 2001

By A Customer

This is a very disappointing book. The answers to common questions are oversimplified and clinical, rather than thoughtful or creative. The book also overgeneralizes and does not provide answers for the myriad of situations in which adoption can arise. There are many wonderful books on adoption, but I was looking for something that might be helpful to friends and family who might not want to read a lengthy tome on the adoption process, etc. This book is not the one. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone.
