A Surprising Reaction (from my adult, adopted daughter)
I have a daughter, now 31, who was adopted from Korea when she was nine years old. Not easy to find a book that would be suitable for her experience, I thought I would look at this book. I was frankly disappointed that no mention was given to the older child. But, when she read it, she was moved by the pictures and was pleased to take it home. She related to the pictures of the babies, not unlike the ones with whom she traveled to the U.S., in rows of airplane seats. She was impressed with the foster mothers in Korea, though she was in an orphanage for one year after her father's death and before her adoption. In addition to this lovely and resilient daughter, I now have a delightful granddaughter (definitely her mother's daughter) who helps me to see how my daughter must have been as a baby/toddler.)

A must have for children adopted from Korea
My daughter was adopted from Korea through the very same organization shown in this book. The book provided detailed information and photographs giving us insight into the early moments of her life before she came home to us. I have purchased several copies for family members and friends so they too can understand our daughter's journey into our lives. It is obvious this book was created out of love and compassion for the children of Korea. Very Heartwarming!

Better for just kids
I am very disappointed and actually returning this book. I bought it as a gift for my 30 yr old friend. Well, this book is good for children, not adults. And by reading some of the other reviews I thought that the book was supposed to be great for adults and children, they were very misinforming! But if it were for a 7 year old, it would be perfect!
