The most important book I will ever write ...

While I do have a badly neglected WIP it will have to remain neglected for a little while longer. Lately I find myself compelled to tackle an even more important project, our youngest daughter's "life book." This book is intended to chronical all of the information about an adopted child's life before they came to live with their forever family. It is especially important for internationally adopted children since there is usually very little information available to them regarding the beginnings of their lives. So now I sit my computer and cobble together the scant details, information about her homeland and the sparse photos with the hope that I can create a narrative that will help our daughter understand as much as she can about who she is and where she's come from. As she grows we wish for her to be as proud of herself as we are that she is our wonderful child. This book will hopefully be a valuable tool in that process.

Ah, thanks guys! Really I'm just doing what I think anyone should though. She has a right to the information. Just like our older daughter has her baby books. This is the next best thing for R (and probably is much more important in the long run).

Awesome. Makes me want to make prints from some of the hundreds of pictures we've taken of our kids.

I guess I'm not much of a parent cuz very few of our pictures exist in any sort of non-digital media.
