[Editor's note: When Mary mentioned on an e-mail list for adoptive parents that she had a lengthy list of adoption-related books for children, I asked if she'd like to post it here. She graciously agreed, and as you can see, she wasn't kidding about it being long. Most of the books are available from amazon.com, though some have limited availability, or they can be ordered through your local bookstore. Happy reading to children!]
