My vietnamese born children love this June 13, 2008
Both of my adopted children came to me from Vietnam at 6 months old from orphanages. They are 6 now and love this book. It has really helped them understand why they live with me and not their moms and has opened up a door to discussion I never dreamed possible at this age. The pictures are wonderful, the difficult topics handled gracefully and makes me cry everytime we read it.
My daughter is only 16 months and loves this book December 1, 2007
It is amazing but my daughter, adopted from Vietnam at 8 months, can not get enough of this book. I figured I would get this book for when she was older but she LOVES looking at it now. She pulls it around and points at all the children saying, "baby." It is a more advanced book but we just tell an abbreviated story to the pictures. And I love the pictures too. It reminds us of our families most important journey.
When You Were Born in Vietnam: A Memory Book for Children Adopted from Vietnam October 13, 2007
Helpful to me as a future parent of a child from Vietnam and I can't wait to share it with my child when he's old enough. Help's demonstrate what the experience was like for child and will be like for prospective parents.
Excellent, excellent book March 8, 2007

This is the most interesting and informative book I've seen yet dealing with adoptions through Vietnam. A very thorough book that has the most striking photos. Of course I had to take a number of small breaks to keep from tearing up too much when I read it out loud to my three boys. If you are adopting from Vietnam, this is the book you want.

If you only buy one book for your child about their birth culture - this is it (my advice goes for the When You Were Born in China and Korea books as well). Why? The stories we will tell our children, even their life books will be told with some emotion and our memory behind them. Though life books are tailored to their specific start in life and are meant to be purely informational for our children (as opposed to emotion based), the reality is that it is hard to keep from editorializing it and acting as the "color commentator." This book does what we can't do and does it in a broad fashion. When we were on the journey to our oldest child in China my husband gave me the When You Were Born in China book and of all the books I'd bought or received during our wait, that was the one that was never far from my mind because it told the story of our journey. I love this book because it brings to life for our children the story of how they forever became part of our family.
If you are reading this review because you know someone adopting from Vietnam, you will not regret buying this book for them, it's truly a treasure. If you are reading this because you are in the process of adopting from Vietnam, congratulations - there is truly no experience or journey quite like the one you are on. This book will not only mark your journey, but it is a great thing to take with you on your adoption trip. We took our oldest daughter's book with us to China and had the director of her orphanage sign it as a way to celebrate and remember where she had come from and a person who had been a part of her life in China.
