Three Names of Me

International adoption provides the basis of this story. Ada Lorane Bennett explains how she has three names: the first from her birth mother which is buried deep in her heart; the second given to her at the orphanage; and the third given to her by her adoptive parents. Ada also describes her life in America, her likes and dislikes, and introduces a few facts about China, her place of birth. The book concludes with several pages from Ada's scrapbook - which might provide inspiration for girl readers to create their personal scrapbook. Written by Mary Cummings with realistic illustrations by Lin Wang; this provides a positive view of adoption, and could be a resource for a class discussion of international adoption.
