One of the most intimidating parts of being adoptive parents is finding the best way to tell a child he or she is adopted. Parents worry that their child will interpret that truth to mean they aren’t as wanted or loved, since the birth mother might to appear to have just “given them away.” Jana Henderson was faced with this dilemma as her son, Matthew, turned five and was old enough to be told the truth. Overwhelmed at the prospect, Jana thought it would be easiest if she could just read Matthew a story which explains adoption in a light that shows just how much an adoptive child is loved and wanted. She wanted to find a story that demonstrates how much the parents searched and waited for their child to come into their lives.Jana hunted through book stores and the internet for a suitable story but couldn’t find anything close to what she needed; so, she decided to write the story herself. Jana says, “I wanted it to be a fun story, but also very factual.” The story she wrote is of a young boy named Avery who has an owl-friend that flies to his window each night and tells him a bedtime story. One night, Henry the Hoot Owl let Avery know that the story he had for him that evening was an important story, “one that is wonderful and true.”Through the storytelling of the Owl to Avery, Jana was able to show how a little boy was greatly loved by his birth-mother, so much so that she wanted him to have the perfect parents. It also shows the adoptive parents waiting, praying, and hoping for their little boy. The story demonstrates the great joy everyone felt when the boy was adopted by his new parents, and all the ways they became a loving family. At the end of the story, Henry the Hoot Owl reveals that Avery is the little boy in the story.Jana used this heart-felt story that she had written to explain to Matthew that he is Avery in the story. She reports that the story was a huge success. Reading it to Matthew didn’t leave him wondering or having any questions about his adoption. Jana explains, “To our amazement, he was perfectly OK with this knowledge. Our son understood and our fears were erased.”A year later, without any further mention of his adoption, Matthew made a small comment to his mom, letting her know that he remembered being adopted. Jana was shocked and asked him if he recalled their talk and the story she had read to him. Matthew said, “Yes, I remember the story. I held it in my heart.” Jana had to leave the room quickly so he wouldn’t see her burst into tears.Matthew is seventeen today, and a senior in high school. Jana has thought for many years about sharing the story she wrote as a book, so that it might assist other adoptive parents to have a positive way to tell their children how they came to be a family. My Adoption Story as Told by Henry the Hoot Owl was released in the summer of 2017 by Triumph Press and is a colorful illustrated children’s book that Jana Henderson hopes will be that missing resource to help other adoptive parents during the wonderful and overwhelming time in their lives when they tell their adoptive child how much they are loved.
