Customer Reviews

adoption book
Really like this book. I looked all around for a book that would work for our adopted son and this one is pretty close. There are a few items that don't apply to him but most fits very well and there is space to add stuff specific to him. Love it!

Traditional Adoption, Not Foster-Adopt
We brought our son home from the hospital as a foster child and bought this book to preserve those special memories. While the book is appropriate for our situation 90% of the time, the other 10% leaves many blank entries and sad omittances. The book is beautifully done and will be a nice companion to our son's lifebook, scrapbook and photo album. I wish it were just a little more accessible to the less traditional adoptive family.

I was so excited to find this!!!
We just adopted a newborn and I'd already purchased a regular baby book. But, I wasn't sure how to address the pregnancy pages, etc. So, when I got this one, it solved my problem. I also think it is perfect for many different types of adoption of children of any age. In our case, we were at the hospital when he was born, but I like that the pages are labeled "month one" instead of "1 month old." So, if you adopt an older child, you can start it when they join your family! I also love the adoption buddies page and the pages to show who helped us adopt the baby (for us our lawyer and social worker).

The only thing I personally wish wasn't in it is the astrological sign of the baby. But, I plan to just cover that with some scrapbook paper with something else on it. But, that's just a personal thing.
