The perfect open adoption gift book! The Book of Answers, a guided journal for birthmothers to share thier life story is a loving opportunity for adopted children to hear in thier birthmother's life story in the birthmother's voice.The journal addresses so many questions adoptive children may have regarding thier birth parents. By answering general questions the birthmother will have the opportunity to address four major areas of interest: "The Family Basics" ( Family names, health history, traditions), " Are we alike?" (likes and dislikes of food, sports, entertainment), Unique and Personal Expereinces and Opnions (Growing up, people of influence, spiritual beleifs), The Story Behind My Adoption ( Circumstances, people involved, pregancy stories). After the birth mother completes what she can of the journal she returns it to the adoptive family as a vehicle in commumnicating with the adoted child, thier biological connection and family stories. This ensures the birth mother's story is told in her own voice and will bring comfort to the child through a better understanding of his biological family.
