Product Description
Unique Adoption Travel Journal Captures Trip of a Lifetime International adoption travel is a time of excitement, wonder and unpredictable experiences. In addition to adding a new child to your family, your trip is probably the first you will make to your child's birth country. Everything is new. Everything is interesting. You want to savor it all. You know that your record of this trip will one day become a cherished link to your child's heritage. But as many parents who have been there know, in all of the excitement and stress of international adoption travel, chronicling your trip in a blank notebook becomes next to impossible--particularly once your child arrives. The International Adoption Travel Journal was designed with your special trip in mind. With seven separate sections organized in meaningful categories, and a fill-in-the-blank format, parents find this unique journal an invaluable keepsake to record their trip of a lifetime. The newly revised edition now includes these great features:

Special place on the inside front cover for your child's photo and footprints

Map of the world for tracking your journey

Additional blank "Daily Journal" pages for free writing

New "Souvenirs" section

Handy envelope bound in for receipts/small keepsakes Sturdy travel-ready spine (Covered wire-O, so it lays flat while you're writing)

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect tool for those who don't journal, February 2, 2002

By	J. L. Foley "busy mom" (Tallahassee, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought the International Adoption Travel Journal in 1998 for our first adoption and couldn't believe that I actually wrote in it!!! The easy guidance that the journal provided and those long hours in a hotel room with a sleeping toddler made writing delightful. What a thrilling memoir to bring out year after year and relive the memories! What a treasure it will be for our daughter!

We've just been referred our second daughter. This is one of the first items on my list of "must haves" for the trip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended!, August 19, 2001

By	Deborah J. Taub "college prof and avid reader" (Lafayette, IN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have recommended this book to so many people! I carried it with me to China when we adopted our daughter. Everyone says that you'll forget so many details later -- even though it seems as if you could never forget an instant of such an event. But you do forget. Or you're so overwhelmed you don't know what to write. Or . . .

This journal is an easy size for packing for travel. It gives good sentence stems to prompt journaling -- without being too prescriptive (I don't like being bossed around by books). It is nicely organized into sections to do with the trip, the places, arriving home, etc.

At least 3 of us in my travel group were carrying this journal. If you're going to make an international trip to adopt, you need this book. Get it!
