A PLACE IN MY HEART
This illustrated children's book by Mary Grossnickle addresses the issue of divided loyalties in adoption: is it OK to think about my birth parents? Can I have a place in my heart for them? This book reassures children that it's OK to ask those questions, and that there's room in our hearts for everyone.
