Dear Sugar:
Don't you just love a crisp new book? With fall quickly approaching (thank you, Jesus!), I want to share with you some of the best books on adoption I've recently read and recommend.
CLICK ON THE BOOK PHOTO TO PURCHASE THE BOOK via Amazon Associates.
The Secret Daughter is a fiction book that measures up to its subtitle: "A beautiful novel of adoption, heartbreak and a mother's love." If you want to "curl up with a good book" with an adoption theme, this is it. I read it over the course of about three days (ironically when traveling to visit our kids' birth families). The book's protagonist is an adoptee who finds out as an adult (as she's trying to start her family) that she was adopted. She begins the search for the truth, including the journey to find her biological family. I don't want to spoil the ending for you!
Ok, I know what you're thinking? What the HECK does a coloring book have to do with adoption? If you've adopted transracially and you have a Black daughter, snag a copy of I Love My Hair. What I love about this coloring book is that not only is it ALL about empowering your daughter, communicating that her hair is BEAUTIFUL, but it also serves as a great bonding tool. The book is large enough for mom and daughter (or dad and daughter) to sit side-by-side and color while chatting about the day and winding down before bedtime.
For more fabulous resources, ranging from hair care, adoption, parenting, and more, please check on my Amazon store. Happy reading, Sugars!
