The Chosen With Love Series

Is It My Fault?

A Gentle Story About Waiting, Messes, and Being Chosen

Ages 3 to 7AdoptionFoster CareBelonging

Some children carry a question too heavy for such small shoulders. Was it my fault? Did I do something? Is that why I'm waiting, why my family couldn't stay, why no one has chosen me yet? Little Bee wonders it too. But as she watches the world around her, she discovers a gentle truth that changes everything: grown-ups make messes, big ones and small ones, and not one of them was ever hers. Some messes are too big even for love to fix. Some, a whole family cleans up together. But a child is never the mess. A child is worth choosing, exactly as she is.

A note for grown-ups

Almost every child who waits for a family carries the same quiet question, whether or not they ever say it aloud: is this my fault? Left unanswered, it has a way of filling the silence with self-blame. This is a gentle, honest story for adoptive, foster, and kinship families, and for anyone helping a little one who waits and wonders. Little Bee's journey gives children the words for feelings that are hard to say, and gives grown-ups a warm way to say the truest thing of all: some messes are grown-up messes, never a child's to make or to mend, and every child is worth a family of their own.
