Massive List of Adoption Stories for Children!

Articles from Tamara's Adoption Mama Blog here:

I decided to create this list of Children’s Adoption Books for two main reasons:

1. One of my most popular posts is my list of 25 top adoption books for children, I continually get feedback from this post as well as requests to add particular books.

2. Ever since I started this blog I have been sent book after book for review. All focused around adoption.

Since we are in a time where adoption is no longer a hidden topic of conversation, the adoption community has been able to request more resources. This is a blessing as it has opened the doors to some amazing new adoption books. The below list of adoption books for kids will be continually added to. I hope you find what you are looking for :)

PS. This post does contain affiliate links, but if the book didn’t have an affiliate link I could use I still linked it as that was the whole purpose in creating this list!

Disclaimer – I have not read all these books nor do I think that these are the only adoption books for children in existence. I am sure I have missed some great adoption books out there and if you know of any please feel free to post them in the comment section. I also attempted to organize these books in themes that may help you find what you are looking for, however I did not want to repeat titles so I only put a title under one category even if it fit under more then one. So when I say happy “hunting” I kinda mean it ;P Enjoy!
