Lightbulb I have found the coolest thing for those looking for adoption babybooks!!
I am cross posting this. I am part of the Guatemalan group but I thought this could apply to anyone adopting internationally. I found the coolest thing. I have been looking every since we started our adoptions 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.

You can post the name of the company here, just not the URL.

Would be interested.

Thanks
Brandy

Thats a great idea! We actually did some scanning and photoshopping to "update" the regular memory books (the three ring binder kind) to fit intl adoption.
When I was done, my DH said I should market this in a way that we could do what you are saying, and have custom pages so that you can cater it to the information you are able to collect and want to include.

Hmmm, maybe we should follow through on this, I thought it was just me being frustrated at the options we have for memory books! I will pm you to check out that other site! Thanks for sharing about this!!

Hi.


I am waiting for my LOI from Kaz and would love to have this site reference. Like others I tried a PM but it does not seem to have worked.

Thank you so much for helping us out.
