About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking questions about their origins or notices that their family looks different from their friends. It is an essential tool for parents of adopted or foster children who want to reinforce that their bond is rooted in deep intention and love rather than just genetics. The story gently explores the concept of a heart connection, explaining that while a child may not have grown in their mother's belly, they were born from her heart. This poetic approach helps children ages 3 to 7 understand complex family structures through the lens of belonging and joy. It serves as both a comfort for the child and a script for the parent to express the immense gratitude they feel for their child's presence in their lives.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book addresses adoption and foster care through a secular, metaphorical lens. It avoids the trauma of why a child might have been separated from biological parents, focusing instead on the arrival and the 'forever' nature of the new bond. The resolution is deeply hopeful and affirming.
