Adoption announcements do not typically include birth weight and length measurements, especially if the adoptive parents received the child a few weeks or months after the birth. Instead, many contain a special message of love and thanks at the blessing they have received. For many couples who adopt, the adoption itself is the miracle that has allowed them to have a child when Mother Nature would not.
Adoption announcements might also list two separate dates: the date of the child’s birth and the date they were welcomes to their new home.
Whether your new addition is the result of your pregnancy or someone else’s, celebrate in style with photo birth announcements. Give your friends and family a glimpse of the little angel that has joined your family. They will treasure your birth announcement for years to come!
