Adoption scrap book.....???
For those of you who have adopted a child or are going to be adopting a child did you have to make an adoption scrap book? We are adopting from foster care and we are just starting the process but we need to make an adoption scrap book so that when we are matched with a child the child can look at the pictures before they meet us. We will be starting ours this weekend and are wondering what others put in theirs. This is what we are so far going to be putting in ours. First is going to be pictures of my husband and I together and a few wedding pictures. Then there are going to be just pictures of me alone including baby pictures and so on and then pictures of just my husband with his baby pictures. And then we are going to be putting pictures of our family and friends with pictures of our parents and grandparents, brother/sisters, nieces and nephews we both have pictures of our families including cousins and so on that were taken about a year ago and then we will be adding pictures of close friends. We will also be adding pictures of our cabin up north and our families vacation house. We also will be adding pictures of our house including pictures of the inside of our house and what will be their bedroom. We are going to have a page with pictures of our dogs. Also a page with things near our house like parks and so on. We are going to make a page that has pictures of things we like to do like hiking, dog sledding, camping, going to the beach. And pages from some of our recent vacations. And then we are going to have some pictures of us having fun and being silly, Not in that order but we are looking for some more ideas how did you set your book up? What did you have in it? What order was it in? About how many pictures did you add? We have tons of pictures of us with our nieces and nephews we take them to do a lot of fun things and love to spend time with them. We have 131 pictures to print that are on our computer and a bunch more in photo books. We just do not have any clue how long this book should be. The child we will be adopting will be between the ages of 1-6. Thanks for any help you can give us!
