Adoption Books You Should Consider for Your Library
When five-year-old Raelyn cried that she wanted two moms, it showed how much her siblings’ birth mothers mean in our family. Here are adoption books that help children honor their birth families and see their own family story as normal.
Honoring Your Child’s Birth Family
Honoring your child’s birth family is not just an act of respect but a celebration of the unique bond that created us as a family. One way we do this is through OurHeartsConnect by keeping in touch.
Another meaningful way is through literature: adoption books that normalize their lives and the importance of birth families.
