The illustrations in this book are lovely, but we had trouble with its content. If you want your child to know how depressed you felt before you had him/her (for example,the fox parent explains how before the adoption was complete, she felt bad every time she saw a parent who had a baby), and how generally angst-ridden your adoption journey was, then this is the book for you. This book simply has too much information about the parents' difficult emotions for a child who is still picture-book age. There are so many other wonderful adoption books out there; we will not be reading this one to our daughter. -- A little too angst-ridden
We bought this book for our two adopted sons. The eldest at then 3.5 was able to understand and appreciate the book though his favorite part was seeing if Mommy &/or Daddy would cry while reading it to him - yes, we ALWAYS do! It is just the right tone for younger, just starting to understand adopted children. I think it will be also special for them when they are older. The best part is the non-specific nature of the story. It is perfect for domestic, international, infant, older adoptions.
I read the review with the comment about Papa Fox. Since our sons are not old enough to read, we change it to Papa Fox when Daddy is reading and Mama Fox when Mommy is reading. Sometimes we read the book together and use both Mama and Papa Fox. It is easy to make this change. We have one copy of this that we read and one that we are saving for when they are older. The one that we read is getting a little beaten up! We LOVE this book!
-- Perfect for little ones
This is a sweet book about a mother telling her her child about how their family came together through adoption. My husband and I want, alongside Dr. Suess and other children's stories, a collection of adoption-themed books so that our child has stories that reflect our experiences and history. However, as we read it to our son, we alter some of the text to reflect our spiritual/religious views. I appreciate being able to have some books in our child's library that tell his and our story. It is worth a worthwhile addition to your family's library. -- Beautiful book (w/ religious themes)
This a beautiful book perfect for either international or domestic adoption. So touching, so sweet, beautifully illustrated. -- Beautiful
If you love "God Gave Us You", you will love this book. It is written for adopted kids. I bought it for my neice that is adopted. I loved it the first time I read it. The illustrations are beautiful. The story is told in a way that it will hold a child's attention. It does an excellent job of describing that time of waiting and hoping and then the joy of finally holding your special child. I would definitely recommend this for anyone that has adopted a child. A gift idea is to give this with a stuffed animal from this book. -- Great for adopted KidsTags:Adoption,god
