Any good children's books about adoption from the birthfamily's POV?

Question

Ok, so most of you know my story. You know I'm a first mom and am raising the older sister of the baby I relinquished. I am just curious if there are any age appropriate books (older child is 4) that discuss the adoption of a sibling, something that comes from a first family's point of view. My daughter does ask questions occasionally, and I do answer them honestly, but I was hoping to find something that would be able to explain it more on her level. Do any such books exist?

Answer 1

Well, this isn't quite what you meant, but FauxClaud has a wonderful version of her story as a first mother, and she wrote it for her 3 and 5 year old. No pictures or anything, though, and it is her particular story.

I will keep looking and see if I can find something in more of a real book form.

Answer 2

'Tell Me a Real Adoption Story' by Betty Jean Lifton

Answer 3

I like tapestry books when it comes to browsing what is out there related to adoption.

Unfortunately, I haven't look at any of these books in person, so I couldn't give you my opinion on content.
