Adoption Lifebook Design and Trans-Ethnic Adoptive Parenting Book Contest

We are excited to announce a special contest (valued at over $300) for adoptive families. Little Ladybug Designs is collaborating with author Beckett Franklin Gray to bring adoptive families a fantastic giveaway.

We adopted our daughter 5 years ago from Guatemala so I know firsthand how important it is for your child to know their story. An adoption lifebook is a detailed story of the child's life through the use of photos, text, and graphics. The lifebook can include information (if available) about the child's birth, birth family, foster family or orphanage, adoption process, homecoming, heritage, information about the child's birth country, the child's likes and dislikes, milestones, and so much more. For this contest, Little Ladybug Designs is giving away an adoption lifebook design for adoptive families. This contest is for the design only. I can give you recommendations for printers.

Adoption Lifebook Design is one of many services Little Ladybug Designs is going to be offering adoptive families. We will also be offering adoption profile design for prospective parents in the domestic adoption process as well as business cards and networking flyers. We already offer a variety of adoption announcements as well as adoption wall art. We can also help plan your adoption baby shower by offering baby shower invitations and party printables.

We are very excited to be doing this giveaway with counselor and author Beckett Franklin Gray. Beckett Franklin Gray specializes in parenting books on adoption. Beckett Franklin Gray is giving away her newest book about trans-ethnic adoptive parenting titled "The Hybrid Family: Understanding Trans-Ethnic Adoptive Parenting". "It covers topics such as the importance of language of origin, attachment and bonding, ethnic origin identity, lifebooks, open vs closed legal arrangements and much more". Her previous book is titled "The Dragon Tribe: A Guide to Parenting in Chinese Adoption". Both books are available on Amazon.com
