    About this ebook

    You often hear adopted children saying I dont know why after they have done something that just doesnt make sense. Through the characters in this book this question will be explored and hopefully enlighten both parent and child.
    This book has especially been written for the following:
    Adopted children. Meet Fiona, Yasmin, Jakub, and Shaniquia, who share their adoption stories. They will tell you how they feel about being adopted and how they feel about not living with their birth parents. As you read you will discover that parts of their story may be similar to yours.
    Adoptive parents. This book is for sharing with your child. As you read together, it will prompt conversations around your own childs birth history and adoption story.
    Professionals. This is a valuable tool to use when undertaking life-story work and direct work with adopted children. It is aimed at children between the ages of six and ten but can be adapted and used for older or younger children.

    neglect
    contact

      Every child is special

      The twinkle in their eyes

      The rhymes they sing

      The brightness of their smile

      The colour of their skin

      The cute words that they say

      The kindness that they show

      The warm hugs that they give

      Makes my heart glow

      The sunshine in their laughter

      Their tales of happy ever after

      The sheer joy that they bring

      Their toothy little grin

      The way they comb their hair

      The stories that they share

      Paints
