‘Tis the season and we got to compiling a list of great gifts to give to parents and families who are in the process of adopting or have adopted. We’ve taken the theme wide so there should be something for everyone.

And lastly, we really could not forget to mention our dear documentary:
The Invisible Red Thread
55 minutes
Our own popular and touching adoption documentary follows 15 year old internationally adopted Vivian back to China to connect with a teenager from her birth region who was adopted within China. This is a great discussion starter for families with kids ages 10 and up who’ve been internationally adopted from any country, not just China. You can read more about what viewers are saying about the film
Nice ideas and a lovely blog. I don’t agree with the idea of putting a child in an “adoption” T-shirt.
