I love the idea of there being two trees for the child. The biological tree and then the tree they were "grafted" in to. WoW that is powerful scripturally as well.

I so hope that our bmom is willing to do what you're doing. I want our child to have both heritages readily available.

I am a scrapbooker and I already have "family tree" pages ready for our book but I'm going to have to rethink how to do that so that we have them both represented.

What a wonderful gift you are giving to your child with that scrapbook. Can I make a suggestion? There is a wonderful book by Jamie Lee Curtis something like "Tell me about the Night I was Born" you might think of including something like that. Tell about your trip to the hospital, your feelings, even what the weather was like. Did you like your doctors and nurses? Who was there to help out? Was your labor easy or difficult? That "Night I was Born" (or day as the case may be) is one of those things that we as amoms can't give to our children.

Good luck and thanks again for giving me some more excitement to look forward to.
