We Wanted You

by Liz Rosenberg

The loving voices of a child's parents tell the story of an adoption, from waiting to meet the baby for the first time through the growth of a family. Peter Catalanotto's vibrant illustrations form a clever and dramatic counterpoint to the text; presented as a series of family snapshots, the images run backward in time.

    Here's the description of this book from http://www.cynthialeitichsmith.com/lit_resources/diversity/multiracial/multi_race_picbooks.html

    WE WANTED YOU by Liz Rosenberg, illustrated by Peter Catalanotto (Roaring Brook, 2002). The voice of parents tells young Enrique how they looked for a child, waited for him. The poetic prose and simple text are sincere and affecting. A particularly good title for those seeking international adoption themes. Ages 4-up.
