Adoption Planning

Waiting Parents - Other Services

Adoptive Parents: OUR SERVICES are principally free use of, and access to, this website. The nature of the digital world is such that most of the people we interact with are a great distance from us. For this reason, we feel that it is impractical to offer the one-on-one services that are usually appropriate for such a personal endeavor. We have discovered an additional need of waiting parents, and due to it's time consuming nature have decided that it must be charged for if we are to offer it.

Couples Printed Portfolio: This is your story book. When a Expectant Mother discovers you and requests more information about you. What do you send? It should be prompt. It should be compelling and it should present you, your family, your home and your town in a manner that would cause a Expectant Mother to have confidence that having you raise this child would be a good thing for the life of this child.

While many couples have a wonderful home, family and life to share with a child, but they lack the time or skills to assemble a compelling story book (printed portfolio).

My wife, Marlaina, has an incredible gift for putting together these books. She has worked all of her life as a freelance jewelry designer and hairstylist. She is creative to her core.

When we needed such a book, she got out the family photos, colored pens and construction paper and went to work. What we ended up with was a wonderful 15 page book that covered our lives, our home and our families. She has been consistently encouraged to do this for other couples. She has finally agreed.

Here is the offer: She will build a master book (this will be finished pages that you make copies of at your local Kinko's color copy center). You need to supply the original photos and write about who is in them, where, when, etc. The photos will be damaged, so please send only photos for which this is OK. She cuts them and puts borders around them, etc.

The book can contain up to 50 photos and 15 pages. She will sort through the photos and may set aside photos that she feels do not contribute to the best result. The finished master set will be sent back to you in a padded envelope. You will be responsible for making copies of the master, getting them into binders and mailing them to your Expectant Mothers.

The Money Part: Cost do create Master Book $300.00
Time for Delivery: The master will be put in the mail to you within two weeks from the time photos and payment are received.
