Lightbulb OT: I found the coolest thing for those looking for Adoption Babybooks
I found the coolest thing. I have been looking every since we started with Jack and haven't been able to find anything that applys to international adoption or if it does it has alot of information in there that that we won't have. I found a website that will allow you to create you own photo books and DVD movies of your pictures during your adoption journey. It will also let you share them with your family so that they can order their own (since we are all broke now ). They cost about the same as the adoption books that I have seen but they are super cool. I know that we aren't supposed to promote companies on here so if anyone wants to know the website PM me and I will gladly send the info to you.

I think I know what you are talking about- we used Rita (from XXXXX) to help put our book together.

It is a WONDERFUL keepsake for Melia.

Thumbs up Thank you!
Hi! I'd love the website too!! We are getting closer to officially starting our adoption process, and can't wait!


I've been looking at local stores for scrap books and what not, but I have not found any type of adoption journal or scrapbook that focuses on adoption.

Thank you so much!!

I think she got shut down and is not allowed to PM anyone on here anymore! Sorry, just thought everyone should know about it so they don't keep expecting her to write to them!
