Megan's Birthday Tree: A Story about Open Adoption
by Laurie Lears;Bill Levine AbbyFarnsworth (9780807550366)

Megan is adopted, but she and her parents keep in touch with her birth mother, Kendra. Every year, Kendra decorates the tree she planted when Megan was born and takes a picture of it to send to Megan. Megan cherishes this Birthday Tree, for it ties her and Kendra together. But one day Kendra writes that she is getting married and moving to a different town. Will she forget Megan, without the tree to remind her? Open adoption, where the birth parents and adoptive family can stay connected, is now the prevalent form of adoption in this country. Laurie Lears's warm and tender story shows how open adoption works and can benefit everyone involved. Bill Farnsworth's rich paintings express Megan's deep emotions. The story is accompanied by a note about open adoption written by the director of one agency's adoption services.
