2) Did you make copies on card stock or photo paper?
3) Did you put the sheets into a 3-ring binder? a scrapbook album? (I figured if I ever have to make changes it might be easier to put it into a binder rather than having it spiral bound or stapled.)
Thanks!

I did our profile as an 8.5 x 11 scrapbook. I usually scrapbook the 12 x 12 format; but agency guidelines dictated the size. That is actually a good size to work with since it's possible your profile will be mailed to birthparents.
I had color copies made of the original on heavy weight paper at Staples then had the book coil bound with a clear cover and black vinyl back. Any changes were made to the original (pages added, removed, etc.) The original is in a top loading post bound scrapbook album.
Hope this helps.
