When we were going through our adoption of our son Myles, adopted from Rwanda in 2009, we searched and searched for a book to read to our other children about adoption. It seems that there are several books, good books, depicting children from Asia or Eastern Europe, but none that we could find that involved a white family adopting a black child. Nope. None.
Finally, Christina Kyllonen of 4-more and Peter Greer of HOPE International have co-authored a beautiful story of a mother longing for her adopted child. The goal has been this: Adopted children want to know their story. Siblings want to know what to expect. Parents want to know how to convey the deep love they feel. This children’s book brings the beauty of international adoption to the entire family through a simple story of love for a child. It ends with resources for families exploring their own adoption journey.
4-more's goal:
1) to finally have a resource for children that relates to both domestic and international transracial adoptions
2) 100% of the proceeds will go toward the Ruby and Myles Fund: 4-more's adoption grants and clean water in Rwanda
PLEASE be a part of this project!
