adoption stamps?

[StampqueenPA]

I know we are all SU! fans here <g>, but since they don't have anything like this I'm hoping someone out there knows of another complany that does. I'm looking for stamps that would be appropriate for adoption announcements and/or scrapping the experience. Baby stamps won't work as we are adopting older children.
TIA, Lorrie

First of all-CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Is there a theme that you would like or something like that?
I made up a poem for our 1st adoption that we printed out, and for my friend's announcements since they are from Montana and ride horses we used Yeehaw! and a cowboy theme for her 2 announcements.

For our next announcement I actually looked on the web and found another poem that I am going to print out and do in a small mini envelope out of the SU designer vellum, with the info and pic on the inside:

She is the child of our hearts

This little girl we have waited for

This amazing tiny blessing we have chosen out of love

And she has made our dreams come true�

Simply because she is our daughter

Is there a special saying or something you would like incorporated?


What fun!

Lorrie -

I was doing an adoption card recently, no stamps to be found. I used leaves from Shapes & Shadows, and did a free-hand tree. Each leaf had the name of a family member, underneath, printed on vellum was "Together is the nicest place to be". PM me if you would like to see a scan of the card.

First, Lorrie and Britta congratulations. If all goes according to plan (Like it ever does) we'll be needing to make some of our own as well, hopefully sooner than later.

Kathy that sounds like a wonderful idea. What a very personal keepsake. You should post it in the gallery. I was thinking of kids stamps for an adoption announcement until you described your card. I really like your idea.
