PHOTO BOOK.

Why are photo books so hard to make!?!

 

I'm really struggling with trying to assemble our photo book for the birth parents.

 

thinking about 8 pages to fill up with pictures that encompass our life. our family. all in 8 pages.

 

hard. super hard.

 

I feel that it needs to be perfect.

 

that I don't want to leave out anything that may be important. what if after i make the book I remember something that I forgot?!

 

this is all that a birth parent will see of us. everything that we need to show about us will be all in one book, on 8 pages.

 

that's a lot of pressure.

 

to make a balanced book about our life. uffda.

 

what to do...

 

we also have to make a one page sheet of photos for the caseworkers who work with the foster children. ONE PAGE.

at least the caseworkers will have our file, but still. I feel like putting our lives in one page or eight.. it's just not enough.

I know it's not possible to meet either every family and that seeing a little book about people can help birth parents, but what if I convey the wrong FEELING?!

 

this is such an important part of our process.

one that I want to finish, so that I can stop thinking about it everyday.

but one that I don't want to rush because I want it to be perfect.

 

we are coming up to the end of the process and it needs to be done soon. about 3 weeks left.

I can't believe that we are that close.

 

still waiting on our clearances.

we have been working around the house, trying to get the baby room ready.

it's almost done, although I feel like it's so incomplete.

not knowing the age or sex of our future child, it needs to stay basic.

 

will post pics when the room is finished!

 

I will just trust in God's guidance to get this photo book done.
