How many pages was your book?  I don't want to have too many, but I don't want it to be too short either.  Let the second-guessing begin . . . again!
Todd & Kristin, 3.10.07

After 5.5 years of loss, heartbreak, and empty arms, our dreams were fulfilled through the beautiful, selfless gift of adoption. We are amazingly blessed!

     I think we had 12, but our agency required a few letters of recommendation at the end.

    Do you have any guidelines?

    Our agency wanted a 2-page profile, and expanded right after our placement to 5 pages.

    If you have no guidance, I'd just see how it goes and go from there. GL!

    Ours was 18 pages.  Apparently that was typical for our agency.
