 Oops August 24, 2008
I love the illustrations, but as many other reviews said, the message is so one sided and sad. It gives the feeling that the child should be grateful to be adopted. I adopted my son through foster care and have the same reaction when people say what a wonderful thing my husband and I are doing. I always feel they have it so wrong, my son was the wonderful thing that happened to us!

We belong together. This book tell the story of all types of families with many different colors and sizes. I bought this book for a friend who adopted a little girl and she is a single mom, It shows that many different types of people which makes a family, you've got the single mom,the single dad, the two parent family, with mom and dad and mom and mom and dad and dad. Every type of family. All you need is love to make a family. I loved the colors and it made me smile. I know it will make any little adopted child smile as well. I was so excited i showed it to all my friends and everyone loved it. Its a must have. SO now what do you think makes a family?
Great for kids July 27, 2008
I read this book to my son, adopted from Russia at age 3. I felt the message was very appropriate, simple to read, and conveyed how much all of us need each other.
We love this book July 7, 2008

This is one of my 3-year-old son's favorite books and my 6-year-old daughter loves to read it to him. I think it shows a very positive view, although others in different situations may disagree.
What about what my mother needed? May 21, 2008
2 out of 10 found this review helpful
How about the fact that my infertile adoptive mother needed a child, a girl specifically, to fulfill her dreams? Is that in this book?
The only reason I needed a home is because my single mother was not given any support to help care for me and society deemed her unfit.
The title along is enough to make me gag - what I needed was my natural mother - it is her and I that should have belonged together. I get so sick and tired of all these cutesy-make-light-of-adoption children's stories that are supposed to reinforce to the child why they should be happy about being adopted. To me it's brainwashing.
