5 Amazing Ways to Make Adoption Announcements Special

Lifelong Adoptive Family

Adoption is a long and stressful journey, and when it is finally done, some people want to make their adoption announcements in a special and memorable way. People want to tell the whole world of their happiness, and if you want to do it in a unique and fun way, here are 5 amazing ideas!

1. Cards with a Catchy Slogan.

Sometimes, the adoption process can be long and highly emotional. This is why adoption announcements with a slogan saying something like “worth the wait!” or “Finally complete!” is just perfect to tell your friends and family just how much time and effort you’ve spent on this journey. Take some cute photos of your new family member and create some adoption announcement cards featuring this heartfelt sentiment.

2. Cute Notebooks with Your Stories.

If you’re that kind of person who thinks outside the box, this adoption announcement idea is just perfect for you. Purchase a few notebooks and fill them with inspirational adoption quotes, funny and touching stories from your adoption journey, and photos of your child. This way you can create a unique adoption announcement that doubles as a special keepsake notebook for each member of your close family. Leave some empty pages and ask your family members to write about your child as well. This way your child will have so many special insights into their childhood.

3. Show You Got Your Missing Piece.

So many hopeful adoptive parents describe the adoption process as the search for their missing piece.  Show the world you’ve found your missing piece by turning a favorite photo of your newest family member into a jigsaw puzzle adoption announcement.

4. Gift Box.

Take a photo of your new addition nestled inside a shipping box or gift box with soft packaging materials. Use this photo for your adoption announcement to tell the world about your special delivery.

5. Throw a Welcome Party.

If you don’t like to send cards or would just like to do something else fun to share your joy with the world, consider throwing an adoption welcome party to announce your adoption. This event is also a great way for your friends and family to meet and your new addition. Due to the unpredictable nature of the adoption process, many adoptive parents choose to throw an event like this after they bring the baby home instead of a traditional baby shower before the baby is born.

So if you want to make a unique and special adoption announcement, take your pick from these fun ideas and make one of those adoption announcements that you never forget!
