Popular picture book provides vital advice for interracial and multi-cultural adoptive families. It is an essential tool for adoptive parents and their children for better understanding of adoption.

Ottawa, Canada (PRWEB) May 20, 2007 -- Asia Press, a small press publisher of children's books, today announced that it will not be re-printing its popular book, "Rosie's Family; An Adoption Story" after the current run is sold out. This accurately written and creatively illustrated children's book has sparked widespread interest amongst parents and teachers, providing them with a practical tool for discussing adoption with young children. Thought provoking and charming, Rosie's Family has received rave reviews from a range of leading media, while grabbing the attention of adoption agencies and booksellers alike.

Rosie's Family was recommended by "Savvy Mommy," Victoria Pericon, when she appeared on New York City's local television affilliate, WCBSTV,, to review children's adoption books.

"The illustrations are excellent in addition to clinically correct text," reported Beth Malley, renowned adoptionn educator and autho of Creating a Treasure for The Adopted Child.

"We support Rosie's Family so strongly that we placed it in our post adoption resource kit which is given to the hundreds of families who adopt through us every year," said Cathy Murphy, Manager of Regional Development for The Children's Bridge, Canada's largest English speaking adoption agency.

Today, one in six couples struglle with infertility and an increasing number are turning to adoption as a means to form their families. According to the National Adoption Information Clearinghouse, it's estimated that 2% to 4% of American families include an adopted child. Inter-country adoption have been accelerating over the past decade and will likely continue. The result has been an increase in the number of inter-cultural and interracial families, which adds to the list of issues that adoptive families face.

"Rosie's Family addressed the inherent issues related to interracial and multi-cultural adoption, in an easy-to-read format," said author Lori Rosove. "The humorous and colorfully animated illustrations are attractive to children and helps in their understanding of adoption."

Rosie's Family is ideal for children 4-8 years old, but is also appropriate for parents and older children, including teenagers. It teaches the importance of embracing diversity and tolerance of differences amongst each other. The book addresses common adoption questions such as, "Why do I look different? Where did I come from? What were my birth parents like? Do I belong in my family?" Rosie's Family makes it easy for parents to tackle this subject matter with their children, which if left unchecked, can leave children with unresolved concerns, possibly leading to serious affect on their self esteem development.
