I loved planning my adoption announcement.

I used the phrase -

A Little Girl from a distant land and
I've been chosen to hold her hand.
Name
Born in Tver, Russia
Birthdate
Placed in her mother's loving arms
October 8, 2003
My Name

I placed the wording in the upper right hand corner over a black and white picture of me with my daughter. She is holding my hand at the orphanage during our first meeting.

We have been home 18 months and I still find it on people's refrigerators. I use that as my signal that it had impact.

Sounds like some beautiful announcements were created from the ideas listed above. Good luck with yours.
