The Red Thread: An Adoption Fairy Tale by Grace Lin
We give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars
(We just found this on Google Books. You can read it here)
Here is a summary from the book flap:
There is an ancient Chinese belief that an invisible, unbreakable red thread connects all those who are destined to be together. A king and a queen rule a beautiful and peaceful land. They should be full of joy and contentment, but they both feel a strange pain that worsens each day. Then a peddler's magic spectacles reveal a red thread pulling at each of their hearts. The king and queen know they must follow the thread, wherever it may lead. Grace Lin's adoption fairy tale is for all children - and the parents who would search the world to find them.
We loved that this book talks about the longing (for a child) that can't be cured with anything else. We also love the idea of the invisible red thread that connects those people that are destined to be together. Everything is in the Lord's hands and He has a way of helping birth parents and adoptive parents find each other.
