"I have read the book Adoption Is to my two adopted children ages 8 and 10. We have revisited the book many times over the last few months. Many nights I find my children reading the book on their own; I think it helped them to connect with the reality of being adopted." —Isabelle J. July 2005

"A wholesome book that's colorful and enlightening. A must read for elementary grades and all ethnic groups." —Karen P. July 2005

"This children's book by D.A. Royster allows a little boy named Michael to express his positive experience of being adopted. Through the eyes of a child, Michael explains the procedure that is followed for him to become a part of a beautiful and loving family. D.A. Royster's penmanship expresses the happiness that Michael experiences from being adopted by this family. Karen V. Penn, the illustrator more than ably assists D. A. Royster in helping to express this wonderful story. The illustrations put the icing on the cake for this book! With the turn of each page you can feel the love, fun, and pleasurable moments that Michael experiences with a family that loves him unconditionally. Many times when families are discussed, embarrassment is expressed by the child who was adopted. Adoption Is... reminds you that you are only unaccepted when you don't accept yourself." —Alfreda O.
