How to Celebrate an Adoption
Celebrating an adoption is a great way to welcome a new family member with grand style. It gives parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles a chance to meet the new family member.Whether the adopted child is a baby or an older child, starting a tradition of celebrating the day a child officially became a part of the new family should become a yearly event.

Start a scrap book of all the photos you take from that day. Have the kids help you assemble this book. Keep record of each celebration of each year. Build upon this happy time each year. Make it a different date than the new child's birthday, so this can be about your new family and not the new child.
