Forever Fingerprints: An Amazing Discovery for Adopted Children Check Availability

For adopted children, learning about their beginnings and how they understand what that means to them is a process. It doesn't happen at one point in time, but rather throughout the experiences of life. In this heartwarming children's book, Forever Fingerprints uses a common occurrence, a relative's pregnancy, as a springboard for discussions on birthparents, where adopted children are before they are born, and how that makes one little girl feel about it. Lucie is excited to feel a baby moving in her Aunt Grace's tmmy but it makes her think of how she unerstands her adoption story in a different way. The tools offered in the book help her creat a unique connection to her birth parents, allow how she is feeling to surface and to be discussed, and give Lucie's parents the chance to reinforce their love for her, to empathize with her feelings and to honor her past. This book encourages parents to explore fingerprints with their children by giving an activity in the back of the book that reqires an inkpad and can be included in children's lifebooks and scrapbooks.
