We are avid readers in our house, and what better way to explain to our precious little girl how she came to be with us than a book with pictures and characters she can relate to and are age-appropriate?Īs she has gotten older, these books have been a blessing to have. I quickly read through them all and figured this would be a great starting point for us. Not that adoption is a taboo word or something we don’t want to talk about, but how do we explain it? I found myself looking for ways to explain it all and then remembered that for our baby shower, we asked for books in lieu of cards. We don’t have to figure out what is age-appropriate, how to explain the tough and hard parts, and what we want to say in the span of just two seconds.Īt first, I thought it was a little crazy to explain this big, intricate, beautiful story to a 2-week-old, big brown-eyed baby. This way, when she is old enough to start asking questions, we already have it down. One of the best pieces of advice my husband and I received after we brought our daughter home from the adoption agency was to tell her every night how she came to be a part of our family.
