need some ideas for adoption family book

My friends are adopting and I am making them a 8x8 album and a congrats gift but the book will be for the baby when he gets a bit older. It is a book of his new family, but I need a few page ideas. I've known the mom and grandma all my life so that side of the family is no prob it's her husband's side that I have no clue. So here are my pages so far...
our family
And baby makes three
Oh so cute
Mom
Dad
Grandparent
Grandparent
Aunts
Uncles
and simply adorable for the last page but I need one more double page layout idea. Suggestions?

Each page I am making a library pocket for the person of that page ie mom or whoever can leave a note to the baby. Another thing is by the time they get him next month he will be nine almost ten months old, not so newborn anymore.

sounds great so far, here are a couple more you could include...

coming home
bath time
sweet dreams
We choose you!

Maybe have a couple pages where the parents could write a letter to thier son.

I have a whole list at home, but off the top of my head...

how about a page called "While We Were Waiting" - where the family can list all the thiings they had to do i.e. prepare the bedroom, culture classes (if applicable), etc.

I am also including a page that has a copy of the actual referral papers, health history. And i have a 2 page spread with two family trees (this may not work if the child is from China - but we at least had the occupations of our daughter's biological parents as well as grandparents - so the family trees centered around occupations. Hope this helps!

I saw a wonderful adoption book called "Why Me?" It had pages about why that child was chosen: beautiful smile, wavy hair, blue eyes, etc.

I am in process of adoption myself, and I know that for me, I was born to be her mommy. To the point that unless we tell people that she's adopted, they don't know...she looks like me & DH.

thanks ladies awesome ideas

One idea is to use an Adoption Poem on one or several of the pages. Go to Google & put in "Adoption poems" & you should find some there. These 2 are some of my favorites especially after we adopted our 2 children. The titles are:
"Legacy of an adopted child" & "The answer ( to an adopted child)..
Hope this is of some help to you.

OH about:

Forever a Family
Gotcha! (for finalization day)

Hi,

We adopted from Guatemala as did some friends. I recently made them a gift book. My entire gallery is nothing but that book.

BTW, I am in Canton!

Good luck and I hope you enjoy the foster poems and adoption poems I used...
