Adopting 8 year old - questions????

I adopted a 6 year old. After I read her file, and decided to proceed, I made a very simple "scrapbook" that had about 10 pages. Each page had one picture and the caption in large letters like "this is your room", "this is me, I am mom", "these are our dogs"... The agency gave it to her before we ever met. That way I wasn't a complete stranger to her when we met. It gave her a visual of her "life-to-be", and is something she treasures to this day. Good luck!!!
