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

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.

  • 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" solid color piece of card stock
  • 4" x 5 1/4" striped piece of paper
  • 3 3/4" x 5" white piece of paper
  • 2" x 2" picture of your child
  • 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" solid color piece of paper
  • 2 eyelets
  • 8" piece of white ribbon
  • fancy, paper clip
