Adoption books?

Question

okay so my son is 5 years old I adopted him when he was born I would like to buy him a book about adoption to try and explain it to him. Does anyone know of any good books out there for his age?

Answer 1

These are ones we have and LOVE.  Also I strongly suggest that you get "LifeBooks : Creating a Treasure for the Adopted Child" by Beth O'Malley.  This is an amazing way to honor your child's history and tell their true life story.  Every adopted child should have a Life Book!

Happy Adoption Day by John McCutcheon

Rosie's Family: An Adoption Story by Lori Rosove

OVer the Moon by Karen Katz

Answer 2

There's an awesome book called "Tell Me Again About The Night I Was Born."   It is by the actress Jamie Lee Curtis, who adopted two children domestically as infants.  You can find it on Amazon:
