"I recommend all adoptive families add A Part of My Family Forever to their library to read and re-read for years to come."
Ryan Hanlon
President and CEO of National Council for Adoption (NCFA)
Isabel has a loving family-a mother, a father, and two brothers. And when she was younger, Isabel was adopted. One day, she starts noticing little things that make her feel different-her dad makes her sit in the middle seat; her brothers play soccer better than she does; her mom doesn't buy her favorite peanut butter. As Isabel focuses more and more on her differences, her emotions become too big for her to handle. Will Isabel ever feel like she belongs?
A Part of My Family Forever is the perfect book for foster and adoptive families to discuss the big emotions that come along with adoption and the differences that make each family unique. Written by an adoption counselor, this book will help children learn how to handle their big emotions and to see that they are loved for just who they are.
