For an Adopted Child

A Personalized Book for an Adopted Child

Welcome a child home with a book about the family that was waiting for them, and the day they became part of it.

The day a family grew, kept as a story to read together.

A story of being chosen and wanted

Every adopted child deserves to grow up sure of one thing: they were wanted, and they were waited for. This book tells that story in the family's own voice, with their own people as the characters.

A keepsake for the whole family

Adoption builds a family out of love and choice. A real hardcover book about that beginning is something the child can hold, and return to, for the rest of their life.

Told gently, in your own words

You decide how the story is told and how much it says. We shape your words into a warm, age-right story, and you review every page before anything is printed.

Ideas to Start With

Every book begins with a moment. Here are a few to spark yours.

The Day You Came Home

The first ride home, the room that was ready, the family that could not wait. A beginning, kept.

Everyone Who Was Waiting

A gentle round of the family, each person already so glad this child is here.

What Makes a Family

A warm story about how families are built from love, not only from beginnings.
