We See the Moon by Carrie A. Kitze

An elegant and evocative book for internationally adopted children to open the adoption and birthparent dialog between parent and child.

Many adult adoptees have gone through life wanting to ask questions about their birthparents, but felt the thoughts they have might make their parents uncomfortable. Then, these questions have remained unasked and unanswered. "We See the Moon" opens the adoption dialog at an early age by allowing the questions in your child's heart to be asked and discussed, creating the foundation for conversations to come.

This is a story written from the child's perspective, asking the questions that dwell in their hearts about their birthparents...What do you look like? Where are you now? Do you think of me? It will help children use the moon as a private tool to connect with a family that is always with them in their hearts.

Illustrated with beautiful Chinese Peasant paintings, and filled with evocative prose, this is a must have for all internationally adopted children. A user guide has been developed by Jane Brown, MSW to help parents open the dialog of adoption issues with their children. This will be included with the book.
