My New Family in the United States

This child-friendly book is about being adopted from Vietnam and is in Vietnamese. The book teaches school-age children about what they can expect when living with their new family in the United States. The book highlights basic American culture and family life to help prepare children for international adoption. When reviewed and discussed with children prior to their adoption, it can help ease the stress and uncertainty children feel about the differences between their birth culture and the United States. Families can bring the book with them to Vietnam and review the book with their child before they travel back to the United States.
