CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Adoption book "The Day We Met You" -
We like this book. Our 7 1/2 yr old loves books and loves to read so we cannot make many negative comments about any book. However, I as a parent of two adopted daughters think the book is geared towards much younger children and definitely meant for a child you are just introducing the subject of adoption to, unlike our 7 1/2 year old where we've started the conversation with her younger then age 3. The wording is also for younger children.

Very materialistic book. Not really adoption oriented. -
This book talks about what kind of pajamas were bought, room decorations, carseats, mobiles, quilts, diapers, pacifiers, flowers, wind chimes... all materialistic items. It's supposed to be about preparing for bringing home the baby, but could be for any child being born. Only the last two pages had anything about love or acceptance, and very little at that.

Strangely enough, the book has an odor that makes me sneeze. It must be something about the way it was printed.

I don't care for the crayon illustrations... they aren't childlike, and they aren't artistic, so the book is just weird looking.

To me, there is absolutely no benefit to reading this book. I would not recommend it to anyone.

explaining adoption -
The illustrations were wonderful. The tone and sentiment in this little story explains adoption in terms that a chld can understand. One exceptional aspect of the book is that the author, who is an adoptive parent, offers guidance and suggestions in reading the book to an adoptive child.

Dissapointed -
I will have to admit I was a little dissapointed in this book. It is mainly for domestic adoption and we are adopting internationally.

The Day we Met You -
This book is a lot more specific to a very unprepared family than I would have hoped. I think most adoptive parents have something before they get on the list- a carseat, crib or bassinet- something...
