Question Lifebooks

Now that I'm getting control of all the documents necessary for the dossier, I'd like to start working on the Lifebook.

Has any of you bought This is Me! Memories to Gather and Keep by Gloria Finkbeiner, and if so, how did you like it?

I have a tendency of not completing projects so I'm thinking I'd be better off buying something like this instead of creating it from scratch...

I'd love to hear about your lifebooks!

Hi,

I haven't heard of that book, but I'll check it out. I'm using the book Lifebooks, by Beth O'Malley. I really enjoy it. I started on my first daughter's lifebook, but now I'm taking a break. Each time I go back to a page I want to re-word it.

Her Lifebook is all about her, not our adoption journey or our thoughts about her or adoption, so... I'm just waiting to find the right wording.

I better not wait too long or I'll put it off

I started Sofias' as soon as we got her referral photos. I'm just filling it in as we go. It's actually become two books so far and she hasn't even turned one yet. I don't even want to imagine how out of hand this is gonna get!
