About the Author

Lisa Copen is a woman who said she would never scrapbook--and then her adopted son arrived. She didn't want to miss a single precious moment. But scrapbooking those moments nearly took over her life! So she came up with a faster solution, scrapbooking with pre-designed adoption transparency overlays.

Lisa is also the founder of Rest Ministries, which serves the chronically ill and author of many books on chronic illness.

Her newest book is "How to Start a Chronic Illness Small Group Ministry," 320 pages packed full of everything from logistical steps in presenting your idea to the church, to the emotional and spiritual part of deciding if this is something to take on within the limitations your illness may give you.

She is a member of AWSA, a Christian writers and speakers women's group and also helps author with internet marketing tips, presenting marketing ideas and tips at Christian writer's workshops.

Interesting facts? Hmmm. . . Lisa wore the same pair of sandals for over 5 years due to the inability to find shoes that fit her deformed feet from her disease, plus hammer toes. She has been a passenger on the prednisone roller coaster; as her dosages have gone up and down, so has her weight, gaining over 80 pounds, losing it in 2003-2005 and then regaining it. She's currently on the "down cycle" but the steroid continues to make it a fight. She is ready for a new "Author photo" too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book!!, January 15, 2008

AdoptMom (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Adoption Scrapbook Baby Album (Ring-bound)

this item was actually ordered thru the publisher's website but I wanted to make this info known to all. As a new adoptive mom as well as an adoption professional (for the past 11 years) this is one of the best adoption items I have run across. I highly recommend it to all adoptive parents and you don't have to be an experienced scrapbooker. This book and the transparencies are easy to use and make a wonderful book to share the adoption story with your little one. You will love this book!!
