There is a new book out for kids which helps them to better understand the process of adoption. The book was written by an adoptive mother who wanted to find reading material that would assist her adopted son in understanding the process by which he came into her life. She found that there wasn't a book out there that she thought was suitable. The logical conclusion she came to was that she would write one.
The book is told from the perspective of an adopted child. This serves the purpose of providing a character that kids can relate to when reading the book. The author and the co-author who worked on the book with her are considering writing a similar book tackling the topic of surrogacy. A book about being born through surrrogacy written for children from the perspective of a surrogate child would certainly be something unique on the market.
Surrogate parents interested in this should be aware, however, that there is a faith-based thread to the book. While this shouldn't turn anyone off, it's important to note because there is such a division in the fertility community about how faith and science can go together.
Question of the Day: Would a book like this about surrogacy or IVF interest you as a parent?
