I only have one right now, and it is Mishka An Adoption Tale by Adrienne Ehlert Bashista. It is really a cute book.

We love A mother for Choco and I love you like Crazy cakes. Dd doesn't really register that Choco is about adoption but she likes crazy cakes (though it's about adopting from China).
We have "when I met you" but not a fan - it's great if you hosted a child though. Just not one my little one likes.

I just read Over the Moon to DD tonight and I think it's a great adoption book, especially for int'l adoption.
I also like A Mother for Choco and A Blessing From Above (they involve animals, but are really cute about what it means to be a family). Good luck!
