Our journey to YOU
Our journey to YOU
Couldn't load pickup availability
The adoption journey is complex. And for every person, every couple and every child, it is unique.
Our Journey to You is for those looking to document the beautiful, and sometimes challenging, process of adoption. We'll capture all the precious moments leading up to you holding your baby for the first time.
Starting with the parent or parents, we go through their early years, family life, education and adulthood. Where there are two parents, we then draw these stories together as your lives connect. Then we move to the adoption experience, covering memories such as:
- How you felt holding your child for the first time
- The struggles that you encountered along the way
- Who you were as a person when you started and finished this process
Our historians have the experience and empathy to help share adoption stories that can be passed down to children when the time is right.
Our Journey to You - the Showcase
As any parent knows, life changes once you bring your baby home for the first time.
The Showcase is a final chapter of this memoir that captures the early years of your beautiful baby. This is where you can insert pictures and stories about your child’s first days, weeks and months, along with special messages for them.
It's a lovely to way end your adoption story as you move to create many future memories as a new family.
