International adoptions from Asian countries have been the most popular regions from which to adopt in both Canada and the U.S. for the better part of the past decade. According the U.S. Office of Immigration Statistics, in 2008, 5627 of the over 17,000 children who were adopted internationally by Americans were collectively from China, Korea and Vietnam.

As a result of overseas adoptions from Asian countries, there have been several books written for preschoolers that describe the adoption process and feature characters of Asian heritage. Written with simple language and illustrated with vivid imagery, these preschooler books about international adoption help kids understand how their family came to be.
