Hello!

I am a First Mommy who would do just about ANYTHING for this book. I have baby book after baby book for my daughter whom we placed in an OPEN adoption, but many of the pages are empty, or I simply cannot fill them out...I would LOVE to have this to give to her. I have been looking since before she was born for a baby book that is tied into adoption and the adoption of the baby. I want my daughter to know so many things...it would be amazing if I could do that all in one baby book. This book is currently unavailable, but if anyone can help me find a copy, or has an unused copy, or knows when this book will become available again, or another place I could find it, I would be forever grateful! Thank you all so, much, I just know I will love this book and so will my daughter & her aparents...

This book is amazing! I was so happy to find it. It took me about two weeks to fill it out (I worked on it almost everyday.) I went to the local large copy store and got color copies of the photos I wanted to put in the book. I presented the book to the adoptive mom first so she could review it...but it didn't take long for my birthdaughter to spot it and confiscate it from her mom. She's kinda shy but I think she really liked it. She really liked seeing some of the photos that she had never seen before. I am so glad that a memory book like this exists! I wish all birthmoms could fill one of these out for their birthchildren.

This book is a treasure. Not only is it beautiful on the outside, the information it encourages you to set down on the inside is something that the adoptee will surely adore. Even in an open adoption, it can be hard to make yourself truly "known" to your child, but this book asks all the right questions so that a complete portrait of the birthparent is drawn.

Lots of space for pictures and personalization. Highly recommended.

You can find it at tapestry.com for about $35. Our son's birthmother filled this out for him, and it has been an incredible blessing to him and to us.
