"Since its original publication in 1939, this little story about adoption, written for children, has brought joy and understanding to adopted children everywhere, and for foster parents has been of immeasurable help in solving the problem of how best to begin to tell a child that he was "chosen".

Such a lovely, convincing story could only have come from life experience, and The Chosen Baby is the actual story which Dr. Wasson, A New York Pediatrician, told to her adopted boy Peter.  It worked so beautifully for Peter that she decided to put it into a book form for all children and their parents."
