Where Are My Pictures, Mommy?

About the Book

While there are many books on adoption and, separately, on pregnancy, there is not adequate coverage of the issues involved with siblings in a non-traditional family. This book explains the journey taken by one couple. It provides children with a positive example of sisters who embrace their unique beginnings and demonstrates how they accept the different ways they joined the family. Parents are encouraged to use this as a backdrop to discuss issues with their own children and as a fun and easy way to introduce a complex and sometimes difficult-to-talk-about subject.
