With more than 400,000 children in foster care in the US alone,
thousands of kids struggle to find their forever families. Even those
who are adopted experience heavy emotions that are difficult to
understand. These children are asking,
Why did I have to be adopted?
Do my adopted parents actually love me? Will they give me away?
Why do my friends make fun of me for being adopted?
Carey Koenig, along with her adopted children Reid and Halley want to
help children realize that being adopted is awesome! Do I Belong? is a
resource for kids of all ages who have been adopted from foster care who
need to know that they are not alone. This resource is great for younger
children to read with their parents, for teenagers, and for anyone who
wants to learn more about what being adopted from foster care is all
about. And best of all, they'll hear from several different kids who
have been adopted from foster care.
Kids will learn that they were adopted for a special reason and that no
matter what happens, they are never alone.
