Chosen With Love Series
A Sweet Story About Family, Belonging, and Being Loved Forever
It's Lily's favorite week of the whole year. Not her birthday week. Her Adoption Week! Seven days of family traditions lead up to the happiest celebration of all, and as the days tick down, Lily discovers what Adoption Day is really about: the day her family found each other.
“We'll love you until the stars stop shining.”
from Counting Down to Adoption Day
A little of the story, before you read it together.


Lily's Adoption Week, one special moment at a time.
Lily first appeared in Chosen With Love, and here she celebrates the day she joined her family. The story is full of joy, but it also makes gentle room for every part of a child's story: tucked into Lily's memory box, alongside her parents' letters, is a letter from her first Mama, far away.
Some families call this day Adoption Day, some call it Family Day or Homecoming Day. Whatever your family calls it, this story is for you. Read it in the week before your own celebration, and maybe borrow a tradition or two.
