Does anyone know of a good book that speaks about adoption

We have no adopted children but my son's cousins are adopted, my mom was, and my best friend's son.
Recently my 4 year old has been asking questions so I lightly talked about it with him, but I'm looking for more resources so I can make sure I'm phrasing everything correctly.

In the UK we have a life story book that is usually completed prior to the adoption and given to children. It explains the adoption and reasons for adoption in a child friendly way so I wonder if you cousin or your best friend have one for their adopted children. If so you could find out what it says and use that to explain it to your son. Also there's a book about a little girls adoption called 'Tell me again about the night I was born' by Jamie Lee Curtis.

I know a book called we belong together it is a children's book.

Deployment

When your other half is deployed do they send money back for your child/children?

Like he gives one of his children money as she’s with mam most times anyways, but I’m just curious as to weather other people get “child maintainence ” while there deployed even though your still together?

Positive?

Hi guys,
I just took this Morrisons test and I think there is a line there (came up right away not an evap line). Took a clear blue an hour later and came back negative? What are we thinking?

It’s negative, right?

Do you think girls are "naturally" more caring or do you think society has shaped them to be that way?

I personally think that girls have historically been more likely to hang around and care for aging parents because they're raised with the expectation that this is "what women do" and it's not a "manly" trait. A certain amount will be down to some natural differences but it's the same way all the expectations have historically been on women to care for children....

Best tests to use (uk)

I’ve been testing using wondfo last couple days and I see faint shadows but nothing more.
Best test to get in uk to see if it is pregnancy or just Evap line?

Cheap tests to begin with until I see a for sure line then will order first response or clear blue
