When we were adopting our sons I looked everywhere for an adoption announcement to mail out to family and friends. All I could find was announcements that were clearly for internationally adopted children and/or babies. Adopting teen boys and sending out an announcement with bouncing teddy bears just didn't seem to work, so I chose to create my own. I wanted to give other adoptive parents more options so I recently asked my sister, Chrissy Dolezal, to create a few more adoption announcements.
Begin by gathering materials needed to create your adoption announcement.
- 6" x 6" piece of base color
- 5" x 5" piece of patterned paper
- 4" x 4" piece of complimentary color
- 4 eyelets
- 4" x 4 1/2" piece of vellum
- 6 1/2" ribbon
