This may sound like a dumb question to some but I seriously do not know what to call myself or my husband at the begining of our life-book ( the waiting to adopt part)
Do I write mommy and daddy-- or our names--- or your new daddy and new mommy ---should I add our names after that ????
What have you people done ? Thanks in advange

I started our pre-adoption scrapbooking by writting letters to our soon to be born letters. I wrote the first one like I would to a new pen pal and introduced myself and my partner.
Dear Baby,
My name is Andy and my partner Hilary and I are going through the procedures to adopt you once you are born. That will make us your Mummies. etc.....
After that I refered to us as Mummy (Hilary) and Mimsy (me) in all the letters I wrote. The letters served as a diary of our home study, getting the nursery ready, our stay in the hospital with Liam when he was born etc...
Here's a great link to an adoption scrapbooking site :

And here is a link on that site for a family tree page that Jennifer just did:

It has a great Poem on it.
Welcome to the world of Adoption! Good Luck
