Big Family Getting Bigger...

Adoption Time = Party

Planning an Adoption Party is so exciting.

Then as you get into it, you find that it is really hard to find special invitations, decorations and especially keepsakes that are for adoption parties.  If you are doing an international adoption, there seem to be more options.  I loved the special adoption announcements that are region specific...so cute and special.  But if you have been fostering a child and they are not a baby anymore, it is just really hard to find an invitation 

or even an appropriate announcement.  

Our family is adopting this week ( I shouldn't be blogging right now!) 
 & I'm knee deep in planning, cleaning & decorating.  
This is our 4th adoption through the county foster system. 
 I pulled out decorations from our very first adoption party, and at the time, 
I didn't realize I'd be using them this much :)  So glad I saved it. 


I spent hours designing our invitations and decorations.  In the process, I have made a thumbprint guestbook. It is a "Family Tree" which is significant to showing that family is not just blood line, but more than that.  Parents and even adopted kids can look back for years to come and see all the people who love & care for them.

I am so glad that I did this for our first adoption as I now have one for
every little darling we have adopted!  I have made a few for friends.  
The custom "Thumbprint Family Tree" is now for sale 
so others can have this special keepsake.  This makes a wonderful gift too.  Enjoy :)
