For
adopted children, learning about their beginnings and how they
understand what that means to them is a process. It doesn't happen
at one point in time, but rather throughout the experiences of
life. In this heartwarming children s book, Forever Fingerprints
uses a common occurrence a relative s pregnancy as a springboard
for discussions on birth parents, where adopted children are before
they are born, and how that makes one little girl feel about it.
Lucie is excited to feel a baby moving in her Aunt Grace s tummy
but it makes her think of how she understands her adoption story in
a different way. The tools offered in this book help her to create
a unique connection to her birth parents, allow how she is feeling
to surface and to be discussed, and give Lucie s parents the chance
to reinforce their love for her, to empathize with her feelings and
to honor her past. This book book resonates with 7 year olds and
adults who have discovered that the feelings and emotions are
shared by so many. While it looks like a simple children's book,
this book helps parents and children create a family connection and
strong foundation for discussing adoption questions. It's a
veritable toolbox for adoptive families with a parent guide at the
end of the book on how to open adoption discussion and a wonderful
connection to birth parents for every adopted person, regardless of
their age, with their fingerprints.
