ADOPTION STORIES FOR YOUNG CHILDREN

BOOK EXCERPT

Hi. My name is Ryan. I am 5 years old.

I am very smart. I know that all babies come out of a mommy's tummy. Sometimes I can feel the baby kick my hand! Wow!

Some babies are boys. Some babies are girls. Babies are all different colors -- they can be white, brown or black. All babies are beautiful.

My babysitter's name is Tammy. She lets me ride my bike! she has a big tummy because she is going to have a baby.

Tammy is sad. She loves the baby very much, but she isn't ready to be a mommy. She still goes to school and she doesn't have a job like a mom and dad. She has no money for the baby's clothes and food and toys.
