Adoption announcements for international adoptions are difficult to find. Here is an easy to make adoption announcement perfect for international adoptions.

I wanted to give other adoptive parents more options so I recently asked my sister, Chrissy Dolezal, to create a few more adoption announcements. Here is another one of her creations.

Begin by gathering materials needed to create your adoption announcement.

  • 6" x 6" piece of base color - white
  • 2" x 6" pink strip
  • 1 3/4" x 6" strip of multi-colored dot paper
  • 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" vellum
  • 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" white rectangle
  • 2 1/4 x 3 1/4" family picture
  • 4 brads
  • 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" picture of child's country in case of international adoption or another colored piece of paper
  • 3 letter squares - 2 - 3/4" x 3/4" and 1 - 1" x 1" (the largest letter is for your last name. ex. I would choose a large "C" for "Craft"
