I've got an odd book about a kangaroo who adopts a baby bird, because it falls out of its nest, and then the mother bird thinks it will be better off with the kangaroo. I can't decide if it's supposed to be about adoption or if it's just an odd story. Either way, it doesn't help to make sense of anything I can think of. The world is a mysterious place for all of us at times.
Shalimar, I have that same book- "Blessing From Above", I think it is. It is a funny little story, but I definitely think it is about adoption, how families may not look like they "match"... hence the mother kangaroo with the baby bird. Also, I think it is about adoption in that the mother bird sees that her nest is too full, thus she is happy to have a different, loving home for her child. What do you think? I've read it to Gwen many times, and hope that it is a positive adoption message. There are certainly better adoption books, but this one is not bad. That's my take! :-)
I can almost picture Gwen's face as she is asking this qustion to Caleb, it makes me want to hug her and let her know that I am so glad she has been a Liptak from long before she was created because God had planned it that way, another reason to be thankful for... Love you Gwenie!
