I am actually using these at my shower and are not strictly for adoption, but I found little passports at a stationary store called "Papyrus".. They come in baby blue or a raspberry pink, and they are very cute.. May be on the expensive side, however, depending on how many you have to send out..

My mother made our announcement from a greeting card program. I had taken a cute pic of him right after we got home and had them printed at walmart ($30 for 80 pics).

I ordered some adorable announcements from Mandysmoon. Reasonably priced and original.

I sent a picture and then on one side was the Kaz flag and the other the American flag and then I wrote what I wanted it to say.
