Two Dads: A book about adoption

This book is perfect for the six year old we are adopting. He was already excited about being adopted but this helped him put words and reasons for being excited. Love the honest approach this book takes.

What I especially loved about this book was the positive concepts of same sex parenting and what kids with two dads can do and have that the mom-dad typical nuclear family does not. I loved that the boy in the story tells us how he has a second dad to play with when the first one tired out.This has been a great book to use in the Sunday School classroom to illustrate the family’s love for each other even though they are different in structure from what had been the norm.

We are in the process of adopting an 11 yr old boy. He really enjoys this book. Maybe a tad over priced for how short the book is, however.

I changed a few words around in the book to include my son's name and the fact that he calls me Papa and my husband is "Daddy". It's a great book and he enjoys us reading it to him. The social worker from the adoption agency appreciates it as well because it helps our son understand that his new family is just regular people.

Great book! Very appropriate for children of same sex dads. Wonderful message, story beautifully told, happy and inspiring book.

perfect to explain to children about different families

We enjoyed this book, and it was a great conversation starter.

Simple and predictable book about two daddy adoption with Seuss-like rhymes.

Received today, after purchasing 3 books about different families. This was the most expensive book but definitely the worst quality. I had a quick look through being extra careful not to over bend the pages before giving it as a gift and yet the pages are already curling. The pages are paper with no lacquer or protective film and the cover is extremely thin. This won’t last 2 reads of an adult let alone a child. The story itself, not really a bedtime story but i can see that it would open conversations. All in all a bit “meh”. Cost definitely is not an indicator of quality! Gutted.

Its a nice little book that reinforces the idea that having two parents is ok. It does not go slind deep or adds real meaning to the issue. It rhymes and its ok but one feels there is something lacking. If the book is meant to be read when putting the child to sleep, this is not the one as there is not really a story.

We have 2 adopted little boys who have changed our lives. We were recommended this book as part of our reading from NewFamilysocial and our local adoption agency. The books is amazing - gentle and beautifully written and illustrated. it has really helped our boys to understand that they are special and different but then so are all families. We have read it so many times that we all know it word for word. If we want to work towards an inclusive and accepting future society then it should be on the reading list for schools in my opinion.

this book is great, I bought this for the little one I had in placement at the time who was being adopted by two Dads. It was a great way to introduce the idea to him and this book went with him to his new forever home with his Dads. It did give him certain ideas of what dads would do so they surely had to learn to make their own pizza and have water fights at bath time!

A really positive spin on having two dads. Fun illustrations, talking about what happens in their regular family, they just happen to have two dads. Really helpful to show children to see that not all families look the same biut they are still regualr families.
