A fantastic story about adoption...

I don't know about you, but I know several people in my life who either adopted a child, were adopted or are thinking about adoption. This book called Motherbridge of Love tells the story of having two mothers, each special in her own way. You can watch and hear the whole poetic story narrated by Amy Tan by clicking here.

Here's what Time Magazine had to say about this book: "Got a girlfriend who just adopted a kid? You're going to want to get them this book, although the illustration is so gorgeous, you could give it to anyone. The text was submitted anonymously to the charity Mother Bridge of Love, which seeks to connect kids adopted from China with their homeland...it does explain quite lyrically how two mothers can each have a part in making one whole child"—Time Magazine.

The magazine also listed it as #3 of their list of Top 10 Books for Children for 2007.

You can also feel great about purchasing this book because the royalties from the sale of this Barefoot book will be donated to Mother Bridge of Love, a charity that reaches out to Chinese children all over the world in order to develop a connection between China and the West, and between adoptive culture and birth culture.
