We begin the story of Stephanie N. Gifford’s journey as an author with her debut children’s book, Adopted Love Forever After. For Gifford, this adoption story for kids begins with the love and care she has for her own children, which is quoted below.

“Enjoy each illustration and find the butterfly on every page. When I tuck my kiddos into bed at night, I always tell them to dream of butterflies and rainbows.”

Whoever is in possession of this children’s book, can also write their name on the front page above this quote as a keepsake reminding them of the joy that surrounds being adopted.

The Inspiration Behind Adopted Love Forever

Adopted Love Forever After was inspired by Gifford’s personal journey of adopting her three beautiful children. Gifford dedicates this book to present and future parents of adopted children and parents, especially those who have endured difficulties with getting pregnant and having their own children.

The book is illustrated by artist Catherine Solski, who provided detailed sketches of a family coming together through the process of adoption. Solski included sketches of Gifford’s entire family to personalize the author’s own story having her three children.

Why This Book Is Great For Both Kids and Parents

Through Gifford’s own experience, she was able to create a joyful and light-hearted story of adoption. Brought to life in bite-sized pieces, this makes an adoption story for kids easy to understand and enjoy.

The colorful illustrations shed a bright perspective that will help adoptive children associate good feelings with being adopted into a family. Parents can also use this book as a tool for explaining adoption to their children if they find it to be a difficult conversation to have.

Parents can also use this story as a way to communicate to their adopted children. With this book, parents can express how grateful they are for having their children in their lives when all other avenues seem to have failed.

The Friendly Purple Butterfly

Reading this adoption story for kids can be a fun activity for children. Kids can sit with their parents and follow the purple butterfly as it flutters through the pages of the book to a happy ending.

The butterfly ends at the back of the book where a short poem on “Mommy’s Belly” is located. From there, children can illustrate a picture of what their family looks like. By doing this, children can forever keep this book to help them remember the beauty of having their family.
