{two weekends ago, b and i were out shopping some new kiddy stores and we happened to come across this book. after looking through it, we both decided it was one that we wanted to get for little c. i wish i had more time, i would have taken some photos of our actual book and the inside of it...
but here are a few from amazon's site...}
{okay, so these aren't the best...i'll will really try to take pictures this week...you can check out this site for a couple other pictures. this book is different then any of the other "adoption" books that i've seen before. for one the illustrations are more my taste..adorable yet modern. the pages are made to be filled with all sorts of information about our wait, the day we were matched, the day we meet our little one, their first room...but it also has the typical baby book pages like dislikes and likes...hair..food..words. as it should.}
{i'm eager to start filling in the pages that i can actually fill in right now...and then of course later when we do have more information about our baby...so little c will have two books. a book about his or her journey and a book about his or her childhood.}
{and let's see...is there any updates on our adoption...ah...nope. it stinks..i wish there were. i've been actively checking on our agency's forums. some times i need a break though. ugh. it's hard to look and see that there is little to no movement. actually it seems like it's been quiet for a number of weeks now. i'm so hoping that it picks up this month. i just e-mailed our adoption specialist to find out if she has any updates for us. we actually will be getting a new person working on our "case" as of this month. our specialist is going on maternity leave and won't be around (probably) the rest of the year. so we are interested in meeting this new lady. hopefully our agency will be hosting a waiting families dinner so that we can meet her. we'll see if they can get it together...not holding my breath though. they told us last year that they held waiting family dinners quarterly...the last one they had was a year ago this month...i think it's more like yearly wouldn't you say? i think it's pretty sad considering it's a potluck dinner.}

We have that baby book--it's great! See you soon!
Oh, I love this book! I actually had to giggle because somewhere in this house, I have that book too. Completely empty. Ironic since I just posted that I don't do baby books! :-)
And man, that stinks about your agency not getting it together with the dinners. We used two separate agencies and our placing agency was not local. I really miss that we don't have any "strong" connections from there. :-(
can't wait too d to fill out our little c book!!! b.
i have this one, too! i got it as a gift from another bloggy friend and i love it :) hope you are met with some activity soon!!!
This book looks great! I think Janet had wrote about this and I looked it up on Amazon. ( and there it still sits on my wish list. :)
I so hope that there is some movement very very soon. The waiting is pure torture. :(
What a sweet little book. I hope you enjoy filling in what you can right now - I just love that kind of stuff.
I'm sorry to hear there hasn't been any movement. Of all the families out there waiting - I'm most excited for you and b - you've put your time in that's for sure. I'll keep hoping and praying things start moving.
I hope that you get to meet your new specialist-and a dinner soon also,your books are going to be so special for and about little C, blessings to your futures. Mom Clemons
