When we made our album, it was of course with our future daughter in mind. However, it crossed my mind that our SW might want to show it to the childrens' workers during the matching process. She did, in fact, ask if she could show it to other SW's. I don't know if it made a difference in our getting matched, but I am sure it didn't hurt!

We kept it pretty simple - pic's of us, our daughter C, front of house, yard, playroom, her bedroom. And the cat, of course. She "narrated" the book - it was very cute.

M loved the album during visits. However, once she was home with us, I did notice that it started to bother her to look at the pictures of us with C - like she was jealous she had not been with us then. She is fine with other photos of me, DH, and C around the house. Anyway, I put the album away for now.

Good luck!
