Ideas for celebrating adoption?

A friend of mine has a georgeous album that she had the guests at her adoption party each make pages for to let her son know how important his adoption was.

Has anyone done anything similar?

You know, we won't be able to finalize until late July or early August, but I was thinking of doing something like this just last night. We're planning on having an ice cream party on the evening of our daughter's finalization, and I was going to ask each person in attendance to let me take their picture individually at the party, and then to fill out a page that says at the top "My prayer for you...." Then I was going to make a 6x6 album with each person's photo on one side of the spread, and their hand written prayer on the other. Since there will be several kids invited, and some of them can't write yet, I was thinking of having them draw a crayon picture on their page and then having their parents help them label it. It could be something longer that people write or something as simple as one word, like "hapiness" or "faith". I thought this would be a GREAT bedtime book for her!

Wooz - that is a BEAUTIFUL idea!!!!!! I am thinking of doing something similar around my son's 1st b-day (since I didn't have it together enough to do at time of birth!).... I may use your idea about the prayer and do the nice smaller size book (have to love those - they're easy to fill and fast!)
