After Adoption

Reach for this book when your child is experiencing the complex 'after' of adoption, perhaps during a moment of insecurity, a move into a new home, or when they need reassurance that their place in the family is permanent. This gentle story focuses on the transition into a forever family, moving past the initial excitement to address the quiet, lingering questions about belonging and safety. It creates a space for children to process the shift from foster care or temporary housing into a stable environment. Appropriate for preschoolers and early elementary students (ages 3 to 7), the book emphasizes that love and patience are the building blocks of a new home. It validates the child's occasional anxiety while consistently reinforcing the message of hope and optimism. Parents will appreciate how it provides a natural bridge to discuss their own family's unique journey and the lasting commitment they have made to one another.
