Did you realize that even a baby or a toddler adopted from an orphanage may experience confusion as his routine of bottles, burps, diaper changes, and cuddling, is changed and he begins life with a new family that speaks a language that is strange to him? Babies that share a room may even become confused when one of them leaves with “strangers.”

Written from a baby’s point of view, the charming story follows Borya’s routine in an Eastern European orphanage and the changes he experiences before and after he goes home to begin life with his new “Mama-Papa.”

I loved this book! Even though it’s geared towards children, the book brought to my attention some issues that had never even occurred to me. I highly recommend this book for all families considering adopting from an orphanage.
