Many people, including adoptive parents and even medical nurses, are surprised to learn that it is possible to nurse an adopted child.
Each adoptive mother who has nursed their child has their own unique story.

I waited expectantly for the shriveled, purple umbilical cord stump to fall off, which the pediatrician had told me was the symbolic “green light” for being allowed to submerge is tiny, red, flaky, squirmy body into a delicious bath.
The [...]

If there is one thing that’s almost guaranteed, it’s the fact that someday adopted children will have questions. And rightfully so. Every child deserves to know where s/he came from.
The traditional baby book just doesn’t have space for so much of what is important for the adoptee and family.

Most parents who adopt a child of a different nationality or ethnicity hope to teach their child one day about their cultural heritage.

Fill-in-the-Blankie is a special, meaningful gift for babies, toddlers, and new parents!

That gives you 800 characters to create a heartfelt keepsake that is sure to [...]
