Gr 1-3-- A first-person photo essay that documents eight-year-old Jenny's life before and after her adoption. As black-and-white photos show her with friends and extended family, readers learn of her likes and dislikes amidst her accounts of positive experiences within the foster care and social service system. Her natural curiosity surfaces and surrounds the adoptive process, her biological parents, and the problems that caused them to surrender her to the authorities when she was three. This upbeat, loving, yet honest story has a picture book appearance that offers accessibility to beginning readers. Stylistically, it is similar to Banish's Let Me Tell You about My Baby (HarperCollins, 1988). Other works share similarities with it, such as Holtz's Foster Child (Messner, 1984; o.p.), Sobol's We Don't Look Like Our Mom and Dad (Coward, 1984), Greenberg's Adopted (Watts, 1987), and Rosenberg's Being Adopted (Lothrop, 1984), but none approximate the distinctive descriptions of Jenny's move from foster care to adoption. Whether for cultural awareness or a plain good read, this is a first-class choice. --Celia A. Huffman, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Cleveland (c) Copyright 2010.

Phot. Joining the ranks of other interracial adoption books, this photo essay is narrated by its subject, eight-year-old Jennifer Jordan-Wong. Details of fostering and the adoption process emerge through a thoughtful combination of pictures and a simple, declarative text. From HORN BOOK 1992, (c) Copyright 2010.

Ages 5-8. In a striking photo-essay, eight-year-old Jennifer Jordan-Wong tells the story of her adoption the previous year by a young couple from California. Jennifer, who lived with her birth parents until the age of three, spent several years in foster homes before her adoption. She describes her life with the Morgans (a foster family with whom she stays in contact), introduces the social workers who arranged her present placement, and explains how she and her parents have become a "forever family." She recounts her adoption ceremony and celebration as well as her life in the Jordan-Wong household today. Although she sometimes wonders about her birth parents, she is basically a happy, well-adjusted second-grader. Banish's clear black-and-white photos give readers the feeling that they are peeking into Jennifer's family photo album, and the Jordan-Wong multiethnic family is particularly appealing. Appended with a glossary of adoption terms, this will make a good choice for anyone searching for materials about families or the adoption of older children.
