How did you find me?
What does adoption mean?
Where did I come from?
Would you send me back?
What are all those papers?
Will you always love me?
Do I fit in?
Why was I adopted?
For children adopted at any age and from any country, All About Adoption explores the what, how and why of adoption, as well as the many feelings kids can experience as they grow up. And for parents, an extensive afterword discusses the unique practical and emotional dimensions of adoptive children and their families, with suggestions for answering the most challenging questions.
