Book Reviews of Zachary's New Home: A Story for Foster and Adopted Children

Book Review: Great Book!
Summary: 5 Stars

This book explains foster adoption very well. My niece loves this book and has told me that the child we are adopting she is going to adopt them as well, as a sister. I guess if I can be the Mom then she doesn't have to be a cousin she is going to be the sister. Very good four year old logic. It is a great book, I love the use of animals instead of people doesn't make the process seem scary and has good messages for everyone involved in an adoption.
