Terrific! Our son and daughter-in-law are adopting a baby from Vietnam and this brought clearly into focus the background our litle guy will have been living with as well as what we will be experience when we go with them to pick him up. It was very reassuring for us and I would think (being a former preschool teacher) would be very helpful to our grandson when he is of an appropriate age to read it with his parents. We plan to individualize and supplement it by taking photos of his particular orhanage and caretakers, so that it will be that much more meaningful to him. I'm most grateful to the author for such a pertinent, well-done book!
My vietnamese born children love this Both of my adopted children came to me from Vietnam at 6 months old from orphanages. They are 6 now and love this book. It has really helped them understand why they live with me and not their moms and has opened up a door to discussion I never dreamed possible at this age. The pictures are wonderful, the difficult topics handled gracefully and makes me cry everytime we read it.
My daughter is only 16 months and loves this book It is amazing but my daughter, adopted from Vietnam at 8 months, can not get enough of this book. I figured I would get this book for when she was older but she LOVES looking at it now. She pulls it around and points at all the children saying, "baby." It is a more advanced book but we just tell an abbreviated story to the pictures. And I love the pictures too. It reminds us of our families most important journey.
When You Were Born in Vietnam: A Memory Book for Children Adopted from Vietnam Helpful to me as a future parent of a child from Vietnam and I can't wait to share it with my child when he's old enough. Help's demonstrate what the experience was like for child and will be like for prospective parents.
Excellent, excellent book This is the most interesting and informative book I've seen yet dealing with adoptions through Vietnam. A very thorough book that has the most striking photos. Of course I had to take a number of small breaks to keep from tearing up too much when I read it out loud to my three boys. If you are adopting from Vietnam, this is the book you want.
Terrific!
