Book Reviews of Over the Moon: An Adoption Tale
Book Review: Disagree w/review
Summary: 5 Stars
I know the review I am quoting below is ancient, but I had to respond. The suggested statement infers that the birthparents' home is inferior. The whole issue my daughter's birthparents had to painfully come to grips with was the fact that they couldn't care for their child due to finances and their age. If a child learns that truth, they realize that they were indeed wanted, not just passed off to a better place for no reason. I'd be insecure in thinking that my new parents might indiscriminantly do the same. If my daughter's birthparents could have taken care of her, there would not have been an adoption. But that doesn't make their home a bad, inferior place.
<<This lovely story, so beautifully illustrated, could have been excellent if instead of "her parents couldn't take care of her" had said, "Her parents wanted her to have the best possible home."- or another positive line. Adoptees may have concerns about this explanation (expressed or not expressed). However, it may promote some healthy discussion.>>
