does not tell the universal story of adoption
This book goes through the alphabet, repeating in similar words on every page that the baby is special and loved. (A is for adopted, B is for beautiful, C is for cuddle....) It's thoughtful but not inclusive enough to educate siblings or family members about adoption. Other books accomplish this end better, like Marianne Richmond's "I Wished for You" (any age) or even Marc A. Nemiroff's "All about Adoption" (for children adopted at older age).As other reviewers note, it is suitable for young children adopted at birth only. And it does reference God often. I like the poem on the first page (even wrote it down), but the rest of the book as very repetitive and I stopped reading about half way through.
