Most of the major department stores that carry Christopher Radko have them here in California.

How do you find the Hallmark adoption ornaments? Can you order them from their web site or do you have to go to the store? I'm hoping they are less than the Radko ornaments, because I thought about getting a bunch for people, but the Radko are too costly to buy a lot of them.

The Hallmark ones are avail. at the Hallmark stores. I have never found them on the Hallmark website. They are a lot less expensive than the Radko and support the Dave Thomas foundation also

There was a thread a few days ago about ornaments and I asked if anyone had seen the new Hallmark ornament this year. Is it in stores now? What does it look like? What is it called?

Thanks so much,

I am an avid Hallmark ornament collector and I buy the adoption one every year. I was very upset when I looked at the ornament book for this year and I didn't see an adoption one. I was thinking about writing Hallmark to let them know how adoption has touched our lives and to please consider making one again next year.

Thanks Steph,
I was just thinking I was missing it at the store. I also looked in their catalog and didn't find it. That stinks!!!!
