This book is designed to open a dialogue with adopted children. It serves to start a conversation about adoption at a very young age, giving children the tools to ask the questions they have and to understand how they came to be in their particular family. Every child needs to know their heritage and their story. Whether their adoption is foreign or domestic, trans-racial, traditional or non-traditional, children will understand (through the magic of animal births) how they came to be in their family, and that they are special and wanted and so very loved. While this book starts the story, each child's individual story will be different and unique. We hope this book will help each child answer the inevitable question, "When did you learn you were adopted?" with the answer "I always knew."
