How It Works

We've been through the adoption process before and know how time consuming and stressful it can be.  Our goal is to not only make this process painless and simple but FUN!

 

Step One: Content

Once you submit payment, we will set up a Google Docs folder with you to begin gathering your pictures and content for the “What to Say” message guide.  We provide samples and template to help you know what to say but are prepared to have a conversation with you and assist in the writing if needed.

 

Step Two: Design

After you share with us your content and pictures, we quickly go to work will provide a first-round draft of your profile book within 10-14 business days.


Step Three: Final Edits

You will have time to make edits and confirm details with your agency/consultant before you send us back the edits to complete. Up to three rounds of edits are included in the price. 


Step Four: Print
Once the final product is signed off on, it will take around 10-14 business days to receive your printed copies. We will send your digital PDF file at the time of print as well.

What you will receive

  • Design of a 16-22 page profile book (depending on agency requirements).
  • A "What to Say" message guide that will help you write content about yourself for the profile book. Certain pages will need more word counts than others so this guide will help you narrow down what you'd like to say to fit the appropriate page. 
  • Editing of profile book content.
  • Up to three rounds of editing the design of the profile book.
  • A PDF digital copy of your profile book (printed books are purchased separately through our Printing Services page).
  • Love, support, and encouragement!

Ethical Design Process

On the most basic level, ethical adoptions are all about open, honest communication and respect.

Communicating with birthparents in a way that instills honor, love, and respect is of utmost importance. Adoptive parents must present themselves in the most honest way possible and not present themselves in a favorable but dishonest way. We will setup a call with you to better understand your willingness to participate in an open adoption and what that means to you so we can properly communicate that visually and through your written words so that all parties are on the same page. 

We view the process of designing an Adoption Profile Book as one in which we have two clients - you and the birth parents.  Our job is to make sure that even though you may not be able to speak to each other, yet, that we are portraying your unique adoptive parent situation as truthful as possible to the birth parents.
