You Are So Loved – Adoption Story

Adoptive parents can share not only their own love for their new baby but also God’s love with this interactive and customizable story. Sweetly written prose explains that every baby is also loved by their extended family and friends and will continue to be cherished and celebrated throughout their lifetime. Clear and vibrant illustrations demonstrate the numerous ways parents enthusiastically prepare for their adopted child’s new arrival, showing children how they were loved even before their parents met them in person.

The spots provided for personalization, such as filling in baby’s name and “gotcha date,” may help the child feel as if this is a book written just for them. The unique format plants the seed of love in children’s hearts, taking the child on a journey from the time their parents first decided to add to their family to baby’s arrival at home. Clear and colorful images representing humanity’s diversity emphasize that God loves and cares for us all.

Deep within all of us is the desire to know we are loved and to whom we belong. Adoption is dear to our hearts because my wife and I adopted two children. There’s something very beautiful about being chosen, like how God chooses us! When children are loved and feel safe and know where home is, they have the tools in life to do well! We love how this book highlights the beautiful relationship between a child and adoptive parents making their family complete!
