Whether is it your family’s tradition to read a nighttime story before bed or a break for some reading during the day, here are some adoption stories we recommend for children.

“I Wished for You”

By Marianne Richmond, Rose

“Mama,” said Barley. “Tell me again how I’m your wish come true.”

“Thus begins this beautiful story for adoptive families. I Wished for You: An Adoption Story follows a conversation between a little bear named Barley and his Mama as they curl up in their favorite cuddle spot and talk about how they became a family. Barley asks Mama the kinds of questions many adopted children have, and Mama lovingly answers them all.

With endearing prose and charming watercolor illustrations, I Wished for You is a cozy read that affirms how love is what truly makes a family.”

This is a children’s book that is from the point of view of a child (Rosa) whose mother is pregnant and considering adoption.

“A parable about adoption, this charming story tells of an apple tree who is unable to bear fruit—no matter how hard she tries—until a wise farmer finds a way. He grafts a bud onto Little Tree’s limb, and in time she becomes the most colorful tree in the orchard.”
