Spilchuk, C-Author of A Cup of Chicken
Soup For The Soul "What a loving gentle way to explain
to our children where they came from and
how much they mean to us." Pastor
David C. Friend, Scottsdale First
Assembly "What a loving and uplifting
presentation! Every family knows of
someone who would be blessed by this
children's book." Beth
Kozan, Adoption Specialist, Catholic
Social Services "A Great way to introduce talking
about adoption to children everywhere.
It's a great bedtime book and primary
reader." Card
catalog description Provides a way to introduce adoption to
children, and reminds parents of adopted
children of the precious gift they have
been given. From the
Publisher This wonderful children's book celebrates
the adopted child with its warm message
and inviting illustrations. The book is
suited for children of all ages as the
left pages communicate to older children
and the right pages contain catchy rhymes
for younger children. The love of an
adoptive parent for their child is
communicated throughout this colorful
book. From the
Author I couldn't think of a better way to show
my son just how much he is loved and in
the process promote adoption as the
positive option that it is. About the
Author Despite having the happiest of marriages
and a successful career motivating others
to be their best, I felt incomplete. I
was childless. After years of
hearbreaking infertility treatments my
husband, David, and I decided to adopt a
child, Jordan. From the moment I saw him,
all questions about why I couldn't have a
child biologically disappreared. My
desire to express to my son and other
adopted children how deeply they are
loved, and the positive experience of
adopting Jordan, inspired me to write
"A" is for Adopted. I hope to
spread the message that by choosing the
option of adoption both biological and
adoptive parents are making our world a
better place. Excerpted

What a lovely way to explain to a
child how special adoption is. Every
adopted child, whether small or grown,
should have this book.

I have given this wonderful book as a
gift to several of my friends. Some have
adopted children, some are adopted
children. I can't think of a better gift
for children and adults alike to show
what a special gift adoption is. Thanks
to Mrs. Cosby for putting in words so
beautifully what all adoptive parents
feel!!
