Creating Connections Through Life Books
Have you been meaning to start a Life Book for your child, but feel overwhelmed at the thought of it? On Wednesday, Wednesday, March 14th from 7:00-8:30pm, Adoptions Together will be hosting a Life Book seminar and scrapbooking party. This hands-on workshop will provide step by step instructions for creating a life book, as well as guidance on how to effectively use them to inform and support your child.
Get answers to the following questions and more:
Why is it important to have a Life Book for my adopted child?
How is an Adoption Life Book different from a scrap book or photo album?
What information should be included? What about the tough stuff?
Who should we share the Life Book with?
What if I don’t have a lot of information about my child’s life before joining our family?
How do I get started? What materials do I need?
Participants will receive sample Life Book pages and ideas for content, format and design. They will be shown examples of completed life books and will begin the process of creating their own. For parents who prefer to go paperless, Digital Life Books will also be discussed.
Don’t put it off any longer. Creating a life book is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child.
Fee includes basic supplies and refreshments. Please feel free to bring a new photo album or scrapbook.
