--Share your adoption book review--

We can think of no better adoption related book released in 2005. "Mama's Wish/Daughter's Wish", written by Debbie Blackington, has an innovated design, an amazing story and beautiful artwork. Read the book from one direction and you'll read a heartwarming mother's story, then flip the book over and you'll read the adoption story from the perspective of her adoptive daughter.

This story is a great way to open discussions about adoption with your child and to show them another child's adoption and how it may be similar to theirs.

Here are some great reviews about the book.
