An adoption lifebook plays a number of roles, depending on the type of adoption you do. For adopted infants, it plays the same role as a traditional baby book, but for older children or children adopted internationally, it may tell the story of their life before they came to their forever family as well as give history and background or their home of origin.
Typically, lifebooks are formatted in a scrapbook format, with loose pages, created using scrapbook type embellishments and paper.
There are a number of companies that offer online scrapbooking services, where you can simply upload images and photos that you want to use and customize the to your specific needs.
There has been a recent trend in the Foster Care system of creating lifebooks upon a child's entry into the system so that the child has a book of memories that tells their stories and follows them from home to home, if the child moves around.
Lifebooks are an important part of the adoption experience and can include information about preparing for the adoption and all the steps that lead up to the child joining their forever family.
