Adoption Gift

[masma]

Hello everyone can you help?
Our daughter and son-in-law finally go to court on March 31st to adopt their son. Mr M and I would like to buy them a keepsake but what!
I've seen a little verse that I like "The journey of many hearts now beat as one" but I can't find it on a keepsake of any kind except on American sites.
Any other ideas would be gratefully received. I'm really struggling.
I'd also like to make the day special for them, I'm stuck for ideas.

Congratulations to your daughter and son in law. Have you looked at 'not on the high street' - they do loads of personalised stuff.

Have you had a look on onto the high street? Some times you can personalise gifts - this could be an option perhaps?

http://www.letterfest.com/products/engraved-stone could the boy's name fit on one of these, with the date of adoption on the reverse?

[masma]

Hi Anne - yes final hearing and everything is crossed that nothing goes wrong to hold it up. They've had him 6 months now and he's a treasure.
Bednobs - I did look at the pebbles earlier but would like something a bit more 'special'

Maybe you could get that verse engraved on something

[tinkerbell23]

Or a real special family day out.....lots of photos, fun, happy times & bonding xx

[masma]

Thank you all - they've already had a professional photo shoot done so that's out. I'm really flumoxed, I'd like to get them something to keep.....

A photos session? Memories to keep forever

Whatever you buy for the wee lad, be sure to buy a newspaper from the day of his official adoption. Keep it safely rolled up in dark paper and in years to come he will be able to find out what was going on in the world on this very special day.

masma, write each of them a letter on nice posh paper. tell them what is in your heart on the day of adoption, and maybe a piece of music or a song for each of them/or all of them. priceless, and can be kept forever .

[masma]

Sorry I haven't replied to you all pc has been in the pc clinic, it's still not well and has to go back next week!
Maggibee - that's a brilliant idea, I'll definitely do that.
Anne - good idea's there too I'll get my thinking cap on.
Thank you again all.
