I’ve written before about Motherbridge of Love, the new children’s book from independent publisher Bareofoot Books. I just had to share the latest news on this lovely book that explores the unique relationship between a little girl who has been adopted internationally and her mothers, both the one who gave birth to her, and the one who adopted her.

With the help of Amy Tan, acclaimed author of The Joy Luck Club, and Saving Fish from Drowning, who lent her voice to this presentation, Barefoot Books created this wonderful animated e-card that brings the art and poetry of this special book to life.

Please feel free to pass this along to anyone who’s life has been touched by international adoption - there are links in the presentation to learn more about Motherbridge of Love, Barefoot Books and Chinese Culture.

Here’s a really cool mom-run business. Denise Ervin has two daughters who were adopted from China and she has created a line of clothing called Lucky Bug Kids, that celebrates their cultural heritage with fun and style. A portion of each sale goes to various organizations that help children in need.

Denise has just introduced her Fall Line and I particularly love the pants… too cute!

 

About Author

The Zen of Adoption is started as a way to share our adoption journey with family and friends. Our wait is long and we realized that life goes on and can't be segmented, as surely as our child will become a member of our family, this journey is really just a part of our family's ongoing adventure! So this blog has become more than just an adoption account, it is about our family, past, present, and future! Enjoy, Eileen
