Adoption Announcments

When I looked into purchasing my adoption announcements I searched long and hard. I realized that these announcements would never be as important to the person making them as they were to me and my family. I looked up adoption sayings in hopes to determine the perfect quote for our announcements. I found myself going in circles viewing the "typical" layouts for announcements on most websites. When I found Alicia's website I was amazed at the different types of layouts and the personal look that I saw.


The moment that our court date was made for adoptive finalization I contacted Alicia. We didn't have much time to get them completed and I was worried that it was too late. She responded immediatly and assured me that she would do everything in her power to get the announcements to me on time. Alicia sent me a preview shortly after I sent her the pictures and she made the most beautiful announcements. We changed wording a few times and scripts a few times but for the most part it was EXACTLY what I had invisions when I thought about my daughters announcements.


Through all of the changes, she worked with me and never made me feel like I was annoying her or driving her crazy because I was unsure. I trusted her, a person I had never met, because her abilities were far beyond what I could do myself. My intial assumptions of never finding someone who put their entire heart into these announcements was wrong. Alicia gave me every ounce care on the announcements AND she provoked conversation about our experiences through foster care and into adoption. She expressed interest in the process we took and was happy for us becoming a forever family.


Our announcements received many compliments. We sent them to all of our daughters social workers and adoption workers. The workers told us how much of a hit the announcements were when they showed them around in their office. Another worker told us they were the most amazing announcements they have ever been sent. My daughter was worth having the most amazing announcements and I couldn't wait for Alicia to make some for our son's adoption.


Because of the wonderful announcements and excellent customer service we have recently been in contact with Alicia for completion of our son's adoption announcments. These are more than just an announcement, they mark a vey special day in our lives. A day that we are offically a "forever family". We have posted our announcement in our home for viewing and know that our children will cherish such a beautiful piece of work.
