5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful, reassuring book for children, November 7, 2001
By "guixiu" (San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
Every child adopted from an orphanage anywhere in the world--and every friend of every child adopted from an orphanage--should have this book in her or his collection. The photographs are simply gorgeous, and the main message--that orphanage caregivers (usually) do their best for the children in their care and want them to have a family to love and care for them forever--is immensely reassuring. Books like this one help all children understand what adoption is all about. Give one to your children, your children's friends, your children's teachers, and your local library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Faces of Adoption, January 28, 2002
By A Customer
I totally recommend this book! The pictures are lovely, and the text is excellent (best for ages 6 and up, although can be para-phrased for those younger). The pictures put clear images into my mind's eye, images that had been absent prior to reading this book. Further, seeing the orphanges and the caretakers, not to mention the beautiful children, have allowed me to visualize more clearly where my daughter will soon come from.

I highly recommend this book to all, whether in the process of adopting, having already adopted or simply interested in a good, hearwarming read. You won't be disappointed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but too complicated for small children, January 2, 2002
This is a very good book and I recommend it for anyone adopting from Vietnam. We will be adopting our baby in a few months and it reflects everything we have learned about our process so far. Also, if for no other reason, buy this book for the beautiful photographs.

BUT, and this is a big BUT, this book is not something you can sit down and read a toddler or even have a first or second grade student read through. It's fairly long (44 pages) and has complicated enough words that I would guess it's at a third or fourth grade reading level. Believe it or not, this book was actually best suited for educating our relatives unfamiliar with how Vietnamese adoptions work. I would love to see the authors write a related book (with fewer pages and simpler words) that I can read to my child when he/she will be at pre-school level.
