About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is asking about their adoption story, wondering how different families are made, or preparing to welcome a new sibling through adoption. It provides a beautiful, normalizing perspective on the universal themes of waiting and longing that precede the joy of becoming a family. The story validates the nervous excitement of parents while centering the experience of the children being joined with their new homes. This gentle narrative follows four diverse households: a mother and father, two moms, a single mother, and a family with an older sister, all traveling to China to meet their daughters. By highlighting the variety of family structures, the book reinforces that love and intention, rather than biological matching, define a family. It is an ideal choice for children aged 4 to 8 who are developing their sense of identity and personal history within a diverse world.
