My Family, My Journey: a baby book for adopted children

Every family likes to welcome a new baby in some way, with many keeping a record of their first year and important milestones in a special book. But what happens when your family does not precisely conform to the pattern prescribed, or assumed, by such books?

Adoption, for example, brings its own milestones. The parents may not have been present at the birth, or be able to record each month of the journey through pregnancy, but there are other vital moments, such as the first meeting, and the day the adoption became legal. In a move that shows remarkable understanding of the complexities of such relationships, there's also a Family Tree page that includes stickers for complete individual customisation.

This would be a wonderful and thoughtful gift for any adopters-to-be. Find it at the Adoption Shop, as well as on illustrator Susie Ghahremani's own site (where you can see views of more pages).
