The following are a couple of photos of a quilt I've made for "Baby."
I just recently began a scrapbook for baby. My scrapbook will be a "Life Book." However, it starts with an introduction of what we did to prepare for baby's arrival and, subsequently, her joining the family. By definition an adoption "Life Book" is a record of an adoptee’s life that uses words, photos, graphics, the child’s artwork, and memorabilia. An adoption life book provides: (1) A concrete tool for meaningful conversation,(2) An adoption security blanket,(3) Attachment rituals, and (4) Opportunities to create positive identity. I am really enjoying being creative with paper and photos.
“Little Miss Ladybug”, always following her Magical Red Thread, flutters with great excitement to match loving parents to their special baby far away.

Note: Ladybug sighting on Thursday, 10/19/2006. I'm just wondering if "Baby" is born yet...
