One reason adoptive parents and first/birthparents enter into an open adoption is a desire to help the child that unites them integrate her biology and her biography. One way to do this is through scrapbooking.
Lisa White, Houston Scrapbooking Examiner, has some ideas and resources for how and why to do so, for both sets of parents and for families in or entering into domestic and international adoptions.
Myra Alperson tells in this article from Adoptive Families magazine how to use scrapbooking to help bridge a gap between the child's past and present.
Allison, birthmom at Lifemothers, shows ways for firstmoms to share the precious pre-birth stories with the child.
Jenni Colson, also in Adoptive Families magazine, shares strategies to make the scrapbooking of a life a little less daunting.
If your child is old enough, she might even be able to help you put together the story of her life on paper. You can enjoy the documenting and storytelling together.
