I too am making a pre-adoption scrapbook as a beginning of a baby book. It is not how we did our profile, though. Our profile consisted of 6 pages each of our autobiographies and a 5-page written DBP letter. I inserted pictures in the profile using MS Publisher. I used clean fonts for the letter and fancier fonts for the titles of each section. I used another somewhat fancy font for the captions of the photos. I discovered that Epson makes a photo quality cardstock, so the pictures looked super crisp when we printed it.

Now, I am beginning the baby book with the pictures from our profile and using neutral colors since we don't know if we are having a boy or a girl (domestic adoption). My next two pages will be pocket pages for the autobiographies and the letter to the prospective birthparent.

I have also made a three-book group of accordian books using heavy book board for the covers and black card stock for the accordian folds. I am also currently covering a spine book (google Paper Source) to put the books, silver journaling pen, glue, and photo corners inside. We will give this to the birthparent.

Part of the reason I didn't do a scrapbook profile is because our agency photocopies the profiles and gives them to the prospective birthparents--I wanted soemthing that would photocopies the best possible way.

Thanks for letting me share.
