Re: announcements

hmm.. i'm not sure because i haven't adopted yet, but when we do i plan on using that quote that i've seen a lot on adoption stuff

"and never forget for a single minute
that you grew not under my heart, but in it"
or some kind of variation of that... i just think its a sweet thought to put on something like this

or the other one "not flesh of my flesh or bone or my bone, but still miraculously my own"

like i said haven't done this yet, but just some ideas i've had in my head

Ours was an international adoption but this is basically what we used. Do a search for adoption birth announcements, there are a ton. And Congratulations!!

Mine is not online anymore but basically I had a map of Ethiopia with a little airplane to the US and it has
Born in Ethiopia
In our arms

I think it is important to start off being proud of the adoption (in my case it is not exactly something we can "hide" anyway..) since this is something your child will see and know was sent to family and friends.
