Adoption Art of the Week

This week's post will be a fast one. I actually bought this book when I saw it because I was so touched by it...















It is a really touching book, and I am thinking of sending it to D, G, C, and Dawson for Christmas. It's a little young for both of the kids, but the message is timeless. The illustrations are amazing and the words are so touching...












It starts off with this line...




. . . I wanted you more than you’ll ever know,
. so I sent love to follow wherever you go. . . .




I'm sure you can imagine the rest. It's a beautiful and well written piece, I have read it to Cookie a few times already. I have a hard time getting through it without tearing up.




I think the best part about this is that it touches the emotions from all sides of the adoption triad. I really hope you will all go out and read it.
