"Wow, this is a tool you must add to your toolbox. This story has a beautiful message to share with everyone, especially those touched by adoption. Get your tissues ready if it's your first read!"

-Alexa, Adoptive Mother of 2
"A child is too precious of a gift to be thought of as 'given away.' This beautiful book captures the truth that as a birthmother, I did not give my son away - I gave him to family who could give him all the love and care he deserved."
-Kimberly, Birthmother
​
"Why were we born or placed into the families we have? This book explores that question and more, inviting you to choose love and see yourself as a gift in the lives of others. "
​
-Nicky, Adoptive Mom
"As an adoption professional who prepares adoptive families for the lifelong journey of adoption, I will be adding this book to my list of recommended books for adoptive parents to read to their children. This book will help adoptive parents and adopted children build the language they need to build a strong sense of pride at being an adoptive family. It can also help to open the door for conversations about the complicated realities of adoption that can be built upon as children grow.
