From authors and speakers, Steven and Courtney Cohen, this companion Guide for Where Your Beginning Began is designed for parents, teachers, counselors, family, and friends of children who join a family through private adoption. This guide is designed to help give common language, empathy, compassion, and understanding for adopted or adoptive children, while equipping the reader with questions, background information of the illustrations, a scavenger hunt on every page, as well as ways to challenge the readers own precepts, beliefs, and understandings.
When a child joins a family by way of private adoption, they often wrestle with questions of identity. One day, an adopted child will start to wonder where they came from - where their beginning began.
Where Your Beginning Began helps adoptive families discover together a child's initial foundations to answer a critical question of identity. God knew us before time existed and He is the safest, most trustworthy Person to take our questions to.
Join Kaynay, the elephant, as she journeys through the land of Fambly (Jamaican for Family) into her past to better understand her place in this world - and discover for yourself where your beginning began.
What to Expect: This is a fun, colorful land which also has some perilous and challenging places you'll encounter as you travel throughout all our Land of Fambly books.
Our family has personally experienced the beauty and challenges of private adoption, which prompted us to share this book with you and the children you love. In this guide, we'll walk you through the book, page by page, to help you see the many hidden gems that can springboard helpful and healing conversations with your child.
Grab your copy of Where Your Beginning Began and join us for the scavenger hunt, deep questions, and guidance to help you in self-reflection.
