Yes I'm Adopted! Sharlie Zinniger Tiffany Cunliffe 9780692256589 Books Reviews

• I read a lot of reviews before purchasing and don't recall one mentioning that this book is only suitable for cases of infant adoption, as it starts with the birth mother lovingly choosing adoption for her child. Any child adopted out of foster care will have a very different story, and this book will ring hollow. It is also an amazingly short book. There are seriously only 14 pages of actual 'story' text in the entire thing. Even if it were spot on for our family, it wouldn't be worth the price. I know it gets pretty good reviews, but I'm very unimpressed.
• This book is ok for a newborn adoption; however, it didn't work well for the adoption of our 4 year old (who was 2 when she came to us).
  
  The book includes a section about the birth mother and careful placement with the adoption family. Even though my daughter doesn't have detailed memories of pre-placement she remembers that there was nothing loving or caring about her original mom, so it will bring up many questions for your older kids that weren't newborns upon arrival.
• This book does speak positively of birthmothers which is great unless your children are adopted from foster care and have a very bad situation with their birth parents. I had to rip out that page but other than that it's a good short book.
• I love that this author tried to write a book for kids who are adopted, but it's very short and doesn't dive into much. I was disappointed as there were numerous blank pages at the end. I just wish she would have written more. The beginning was very good, but it ended abruptly and wasn't much assistance for my kiddos who are getting adopted.
• My 4 year old is adopted but doesn't understand adoption and really doesn't want to talk about it. But he loves reading this book. I figure it just keeps the topic open for when he wants to talk about it and ask questions. He will know it was never taboo in our house.
  And how great that it points out that Superman was adopted -)
• Only relevant for children adopted at birth by non-kinship care. Also one page states that adoption was "God's plan" which is not appropriate for my practice. Disappointing overall
• This is a great book for any child adopted! Our purpose was for an adopted foster child, as many adoption books seem to be more focused on typical adoption, this book has the general feel of adoption as a whole. It celebrates adoption! We loved reading it to our 4 year old daughter. It is an easy read and a good book for when she starts to read. We also plan to have this book go with her to school to be read there, so her classmates can better understand the beauty of adoption. So they too can celebrate her adoption. Highly recommend!
• I was looking for a good adoption book for my daughter. This is okay, pretty basic story line. Nothing exciting but serves the purpose of an adoption book if your looking for one.
