New adopted baby!!!

We got the call last week! We got called on June 1 from our adoption agency telling us a birth mom has selected us to parent her baby! The glitch was, however that when she "selected" us, she went into labor that day and so by the time WE got the call, baby Ryan had been born! So our adoption worked VERY quickly. By Friday, June 4, baby Ryan was resting peacefully in OUR HOME! He was born six weeks early, 4 lbs 8 oz and as of yesterday 3.5 weeks old, 5 lbs 12 oz. YIPEEE!!! I know very few adoption stories run so smoothly and quickly, so we feel so overwhelmed! Now I REALLY have to just step out there and start doing all his baby book digitally! I've been stalking this site for long enough, LOVE IT, and need to start CONTRIBUTING! I'd love any direction with adoption related LO's. Thanks for letting me toot!!! ~ Amy

What a wonderful story! BIG congrats to you and your family! I work for an adoption agency and you're right, there aren't many stories like yours, unfortunately.
As for adoption pages...Carver has done some beautiful ones with great quotes and heartfelt journaling that will make you cry! Very beautiful stuff. You should check out her gallery.

Thanks ladies. I have looked at all the "adoption" stuff here at SBB. Great inspiration. Love carvers journaling! I also love laurasv baby announcements and will probably use some of her ideas for Ryan's announcements, espcially love the feet and hands, especially that Ryan is preemie, you just can't beat those tiny tiny tiny feet and hands -ahh. - AMY

How exciting!! Congratulations! My DH and I are interested in international adoption and might go that route in a year or two.

If you will be doing a lifebook for your son, I recommend going to scrapandtell.com, which is geared towards int'l adoption, to see examples of LOs for birthfamily pages, adoption day pages, etc. The site also runs a Yahoo! group of the same name where you can ask other adoptive mothers questions as they come up.
