Mandy's Moon Country themed photo collages perfect for international adoption. (was well as customizable cartoon people to meet any adoption type)
Shutterfly.com I have recommended Shutterfly.comto friends and family FOR YEARS! Quality product, wonderful variety and now they even have pages from others to view as inspiration. I have a collection of pictures on the site for my girls birth family to view. I have started a digital scrapbook for each one of them on Shutterfly.com. This way I know that the pictures and layouts are safe. (With 7 preschoolers in the house rarely is there paper that doesn't have a scribble or spill on it!)
