Does anyone have a Adoption Memory Book to recommend. We are hopefully soon adopting an infant from Kyrgyzstan. I am not too crafty so not planning on making one from scratch. I saw a few online, but was wondering if anyone could make a recommendation.
Thanks!
As a super uncrafty person myself, I sympathise. I am using free to download e-scrapbooks - great effects with only the ability to paste in a photograph and text box required! The ones I got I simply found thru google.
I was also very fortunate to receive a book from the centre I brought my daughter home from last week. I had been visiting with her since September and built up a good relationship with the Nuns who cared for her. I gave them a blank paged book (a very pretty one) and asked them to write messages to her. They basically created a whole life story from the time they got her, first tooth, my first meeting, everything. Each page has a written message and a photo - some from very young. It is irreplaceable to have. If you can I would send something when you know your children's home (or take on first visit) and - if necessary - leave them a disposable camera too. If they can do something like this it will mean a lot to you and your child in the future.

Hi Marcie
Any progress with your scrapbook/memory book? Can you recommend me website where you can download e-scrapbooks or equivalent type of sites which which can also help a non crafted person too, thanks, Ketan.
I was 'clearing out' my favourites and came across this link I had saved. Perhaps there will be something here which will help:
