Life Books
I know this topic was covered before I was part of this group and I read some of the discussions, but what I would like to know is WHEN do you start this book? I just read through "Lifebooks - Creating a treasure for the adopted Child" by Beth O'Malley and I love some of the information she provides. What I am not getting is WHEN do you make this book? Obviously it needs to be after our LO is born so we can have photos included, but what age is a good age? Any thoughts for those who have them?
Also for you foster moms out there are any of you doing a "memory box"? I loved that idea for foster kids. What a wonderful way for them to preserve some memories.

Re: Life Books
For now I made a book for dd thru Shutterfly. I used pics of us waiting, at the hospital, with her birthmom/family, and with our family. I did this for her by her first birthday. I have an updated version now with pics from her finalization day in it, too. We look at it at bedtime quite a bit.
