My New Family
An excellent book about adoption - a very easy read for our 4 year old, accessible, not too long, good quality pictures make it easy to adapt to your own situation when reading, good explanation of moving from foster carers to adotive family without being too heavy. Our daughter enjoys going back to the booktime and time again when she feels the need and is trying to make sense of it all. Highly recommended to any new adoptive parents to work through with their child(ren).

A good general introduction to adoption
I find this book to be a really good introduction to the concept of adoption and why children are adopted. It may not be deep enough for an adopted child, but is ideal as a starting point, or as an introduction to friends and familys' children who are about to have adopted cousins or friends enter their lives. It explains well but without some of the neglect or abuse angles which children from care have experienced, and which some friends and family might feel nervous about revealing to their children. Ideal for age 4-8 or 9.

My New Family
I found this a very good book, I am in the process of going for special guardianship of my 3 year old grand daughter and it has helped her to understand a bit more why families can be different and it is ok.
