Personalized "Adoption Rocks" T-Shirt

I’m loving this cute Adoption Rocks! gotcha day t-shirt from My Personalized Tshirt.  Comes in 0-3 months up to 12 years sizes.   You can customize it with the name and date.  There are also lots of color options to choose from.

"I prayed for this child" wall graphic vinyl sticker

I wanted to share this beautiful vinyl wall sticker that I found at Old Barn Rescue Company’s Shop. The scripture is from 1 Samuel 1:27 and says “I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.”  It would make a sweet addition to nursery decor.  They also have TONS of other great designs for just about every room in your house. 

"The Wait Can Be Difficult" From ADOPTIONcards Giveaway

When I saw this card I knew that it was the kind of card that should be given more often. If you have ever adopted, or have known someone who has, then chances are that you know that the wait can be difficult and very emotional.  I love that this card offers a way for you to communicate your support to the waiting family.  ADOPTIONcards Etsy shop sells adoption themed cards like the one above and several other designs.  You can also find Gotcha Day, Adoption Day, and Congratulations cards
The front of this card features a silhouette of a couple with a small child.  These silhouettes can be changed to properly reflect the age of the child (or children) that is being adopted.  You can customize the inside of the card as well.  You can choose to have it blank, choose from one of the four messages shown here, or ask for a custom message printed inside.

Beautiful Custom Adoption Announcements from pipe|up

When I stumbled upon these adoption announcements I just had to share them.  They are just precious and the sentiment is so true.  These beautifully designed announcements are the the work of Heather at pipe|up.  Her Etsy shop is filled with creatively designed cards for adoption and baby announcements as well as holiday cards and wedding save the date cards.  All of her designs are customizable and any of her baby announcements can be made into adoption announcements as well. 

Her announcement designs are very reasonably priced at $15.  Once you place an order you will send her the details of how you want to customize the announcement including the size you prefer (4×6 or 5×7), a photograph, text, colors and baby/child’s info. Within 24-48 hours you will receive a proof. You can then print as many as you need as a regular photo file at a location of your choice (costco | cvs | walgreens | snapfish) and mail them to friends and family. If you would rather have them professionally press printed on card stock she can print them for you at an additional cost (see price chart here).

Would you like to WIN a card design of your choice from pipe|up?  Read the details below of how to enter.

Winner will receive one card design of their choice (can be the adoption design or another design) from pipe|up.  Printing is not included. You can print them yourself or pay an additional amount to have them printed for you by pipe|up (see printing info here).  Leave a separate comment for each method of entry.
