LifeBook Progress!

Creative Memories to the Rescue!
It was nearly like opening presents on Christmas Eve when the FedEx truck stopped by yesterday afternoon with the package from Creative Memories (http://www.mycmsite.com/paulawood). My scrapbooking material (for the LifeBook) had arrived! I ordered extra writing notecards since this book will contain much more writing than a traditional scrapbook. (Of course, my urge to take pictures means I will also need significant space for pictures of anything and everything pertinent to Rai's story.)

LifeBook Sections
Today, I went through a series of websites for ideas on the various sections in include in Rai's LifeBook. So far, here are the sections (in no particular order):
- The day you were born: Birth Information, Other events on this day
- The first year: Foster Family, Milestones, Celebrations, Tol (1st birthday)
- The story of your adoption (Adoption Milestones: Application to Travel)
- A baby shower
- Our journey to you
- Our very first meeting
- Coming home (date, your trip, you wore)
- Your new home (baby's room, what we did your first day)
- Introductions & Celebrations
- Your announcement
- Your adoption buddies
- Your first year with us
- Firsts and favorites (word, toys, sleeping, foods, walking, songs, others)
- Your first birthday with us
- Your adoption day
- What we know about your birth family and where you came from
- Family trees
- Our family
(based on forum post on http://www.holtintl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=88687&highlight=lifebook)

We need your help!
What categories have we left out? What should we add? We also need pictures, stories, and anything you think we can include in the book. Nothing is set in stone so far, but I've managed to finish a few pages.

Here are the sources we've looked at so far for ideas:

(And several others I can't find at the moment...)

I'll post more later this week!
