For When I'm Famous: A Teen Foster/Adopt Lifebook

For When I'm Famous begins with a letter to the teen addressing the fact that they might not understand the importance of completing a lifebook, but that it could be worth money one day! Author, Beth O'Malley, an adoptee and an adoptive parent, adds a spot at the end of the letter for the teen's autograph and then lists several famous adoptees. The lifebook may not mean much now, but in a few years it may be invaluable in helping the child have a deeper understanding of his/her life. This book offers a very easy way for a teenaged foster child to complete a first lifebook. Many times the older children in care are reluctant to create a lifebook. For When I'm Famous may help the project to become more fun and manageable for the older foster child.
