Description

This is the story of Bella, who was born in China and is growing up into a beautiful young woman in Australia with her adoptive parents, Geraldine and Geoff.
Author Geraldine Moran first wrote this story when Bella was a baby, and has continued to tell it to her over the years. Bella has always loved hearing her story. It has also been told to Bella’s friends, classmates and teachers, and resonated with them as the story of Bella’s special life.
Both Geraldine and Bella are delighted to now share her story with a wider audience.
The Moon Child celebrates the importance of adoption but never forgets the parents who still love their child, but cannot be an active part of their life.
It is also a story of belonging.
As Bella herself says:
“Be proud of being adopted. Don’t feel ashamed if your family is a different race – they are still your family. Even if you feel different, you are not.
“I am very grateful Mum wrote this story for me – and now it can help other children and families.”

Foreword
As an inter-country adoptee back in the late 1970s, there was no material my adoptive parents could read. There was nothing I could read as a young child and I relied on my parents sharing my journey openly and honestly.
“The Moon Child” is a wonderful way to celebrate adoption, providing a story that young inter-country adoptees can identify with.
It is a heart-warming tale that depicts the love people have for a child and how important it is to make them feel safe and cherished every single day. It normalises adoption to the wider community and also demonstrates that the love for a child will always be there, no matter where in the world they are.
I have no doubt this story will resonate with and help many families.
