Hello all! I am new to these forums so I'll introduce myself. My name is Jennifer and I have adopted two children from Guatemala. My daughter came home last May and my son this May (two awesome Mothers Day gifts!)

I also own and run an online adoption scrapbooking supplies business. I started the business after having so little success in finding the supplies I wanted to use in my own scrapbooks!

Before I adopted, I didn't really know what a lifebook was and just made an adoption journal with photos, more or less. As I got more into it, I realized I wanted to start over and make a more traditional lifebook. I haven't done that yet, and have registered here to help me get more ideas.

I am a birthmom and I started a scrapbook for my son in September. I would love to see more adoption related materials that birthmothers can use. I have searched and searched and searched, but no luck. Some ideas I have would be poems or quotes, maybe even taking lifebook pages and adjusting them to be from a birthparent's pov. I think there would be a market for such items, what do you think?

Lisa,

Thanks for the reply. I do think there would be a market for birthfamily-specific products. If you'd like to contact me offline with any ideas you have, perhaps we could work together to get some items marketed!
