 A missing piece of the puzzle for your adopted child. August 7, 1999
32 out of 34 found this review helpful
As an adoptive parent of a Korean born child, I know firsthand that she had a life in Korea before ever becoming part of our family. Here is a way to fill in the missing pieces for her. Sooner or later your child will begin to ask questions. This book handles delicate issues in a gentle yet informative way. It's become our gift of choice to people we know who are new adoptive parents.
Excellent book for Korean-adoptive families! August 6, 1999

My husband and I are parents to two wonderful children from Korea and this book is just absolutely top-notch. Although we were able to travel to Korea to receive both of our children and bring them home, still reading about much of what we experienced will enable us to better picture this for our children when they're old enough. The in-Korea agency our children came home through is the one featured in the book but I know the experience is much the same for any family adopting from Korea, re. of which in-Korea agency was used. You will be doing yourself, and more importantly your child, a favor by getting this!!
An excellent book on the experience of Korean adoption April 1, 1999

As parents-to-be and new parents of a little boy from Korea, my wife and I found this book to be absolutely exceptional. It shows the whole process of an adoptee's early life, from the prenatal care of the birth mother through foster care and the journey to America. Not only is it great for us, we've also given it to Alex's grandparents to help them better understand where their grandson came from and what his life was like before he came here. I can't recommend this book too highly. I really can't. If you're even considering adopting from Korea, you need this book.
Best book for adults and children adopted from Korea November 10, 2004

I cried as I turned the first page of this book and continued throughout with tears of heartfelt joy. My daughter-in-law was adopted from Korea 28 years ago and now her and my son are adopting a baby boy from Korea. As I read through this informative book, it brought so much insight, as it takes you step by step from the baby's birth, to the baby home, to the foster parents, medical attention, and plane ride to America, then into the arms of the adoptive parents. It brought peace of mind, and so much joy. The story explains how the birth mother wanted a good and happy life for her child but knew she couldn't give it and not that she didn't love him. This was the best and most unique gift and both my son and daughter-in-law were thrilled and cried while reading it. I just can't say enough about this book. The best book for anyone who has been adopted from Korea or is adopting. My daught-in-law learned so much about where she came from also. We all know now what is going on in our little boy's life while we are waiting for his arrival. Great gift for the grandparents too. I read it three times before giving it to my kids.
A must have for children adopted from Korea September 9, 2005

My daughter was adopted from Korea through the very same organization shown in this book. The book provided detailed information and photographs giving us insight into the early moments of her life before she came home to us. I have purchased several copies for family members and friends so they too can understand our daughter's journey into our lives. It is obvious this book was created out of love and compassion for the children of Korea. Very Heartwarming!
