Edit: reading through all of the comments I realize how terrible of an idea this was, another way I need to check myself. I really appreciate all the comments that I had. I'm thankful to this sub as there's been a few times reading things that have made me think "oh shit, I did this" and to change direction. I am really trying to do this right and thankful for this sub for the honesty.

Hi! Our daughter will be our legal daughter Friday! Yay! She's been with us for a year and is our daughter but i want to do something fun at school and explain adoption to the other kids in a positive light. She's 3.5, class is a mix of 4 and 3 yr olds. I'm going to bring cupcakes. I have been looking for books on adoption that'll help explain some kids are grown in mommies belly, some on others bellys, some families look different ect what makes a family is love. But most are faith based. Or kind of "sad"/ puts the parents as heros. I don't want any of that. I want to celebrate adoption as just another way families come to be. I'd like it to mention other family types, like step parents, two dads, no dads ect or living with grandparents ect. But not really finding anything.

Do any of you have recommendations on books to read to class? I really want to do this right. Anything to say/ not to say?

Thanks!
