Oliver, A Story About Adoption - Updated

A parent would reach for this book when their child begins asking the big questions about where they came from or what it means to be part of an adoptive family. It serves as a gentle, reassuring bridge for families navigating the nuances of adoption, specifically focusing on the concept of 'forever' and the intentional choice parents make to welcome a child into their lives. The story centers on Oliver, a young boy who learns that while he wasn't born from his mother's tummy, he was born from the love in his parents' hearts. Appropriate for children ages 3 to 7, this updated edition uses simple, accessible language to address themes of identity, belonging, and emotional security. Parents will find it a valuable tool for normalizing adoption as a beautiful way to build a family, rather than a point of difference. It is an ideal choice for bedtime reading when a child needs extra reassurance that they are cherished and that their place in the family is permanent and profound.
