L'Adoption

In this intimate two-volume French series from Bamboo Édition, Zidrou and Arno Monin explore the emotional complexities of international adoption through the story of a Belgian couple who travel to China to bring home a little girl. Across four issues, the narrative delicately balances the couple's personal struggles with the cultural and bureaucratic hurdles they face, offering a nuanced look at what it means to build a family across borders. Monin's expressive, warm artwork grounds the story in everyday moments, while Zidrou's script avoids easy sentimentality, making this a quietly powerful meditation on love, identity, and belonging.
