We are a large family and my hubby and I are "older" (52 and 49) and we are adopting from foster care. If you ever want to talk about it I can tell you my experience so far.<br />Blessings,<br /><br />Jill in Washington stateDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589848926678192578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108917021368405521.post-21922652340715829012009-11-02T19:04:41.906-08:002009-11-02T19:04:41.906-08:00That is so awesome!

I was so excited to have done this for him and it is by FAR my favorite gift I have ever given!<br />Your album sounds beautiful and I'm happy that your "Mum" loved it!<br />Our tiny granddaughter's OTHER grandmother is also a "mum", having come from England. In fact, our son in law is actually a British citizen but has been here in the states most of his life. (No accent...well, British, anyway. He has an "Indiana" accent." Too bad, I do love a British accent!")Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507427205366570463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108917021368405521.post-28536627051966168212009-11-02T13:04:40.981-08:002009-11-02T13:04:40.981-08:00That is just a lovely story Beth!

I love to have photographs of family from years gone by, displayed in my home and the old photos look their best in antique style frames. When I last visited my mum in England in 2001 I brought back all her old family photos which were stored in a biscuit tin. They were mainly sepia and black and white - I made copies for myself and put the originals into an album - not a scrapbook style which can sometimes 'lose' the image with too many embellishments - just a simple, classic photo book with black pages, I used traditional corners and underneath each picture, I wrote in cursive in silver pen, names, dates and places. It cost a small fortune to mail but she was thrilled. There is so much joy to be gained from giving as well as receiving and when we go the extra mile - as you did literally, it is even more rewarding!Ann at eightacresofedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524581927752695509noreply@blogger.com
