Title:INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION
Through the process of International Adoption, many children, like Mikhail and his sister, are being adopted from many places all around the world.
When Mikhail finally arrives home with his new parents from Russia, his big sister can’t wait to meet him. After finally meeting her new baby brother for the first time, she notices that his hair and eyes are the same color as her own and that to her is very special!
Being a big sister is a big responsibility and Mikhail’s big sister is very excited about her new job! She can’t wait to teach Mikhail all the things her Mom and Dad taught her about Russian culture and especially about being a family.
Mikhail’s sister knows that when he gets bigger, Mom and Dad will explain to him about being adopted just like they explained it to her. And one thing she knows for sure is that “it doesn’t matter that me and Mikhail have different Birth Mothers ‘cause he’s still my brother and I’m still his sister and Mom and Dad are our parents. We’re a family, no matter what!”
This eloquently and sensitively written story introduces the concept of International Adoption, for all children to understand. Talking about adoption doesn’t have to be so hard!
