Wondering what a Life Book is? Life Books are a personalized book made up of photos, momentos, writing and art that help adoptees process their adoption story. The books are not just keepsakes; they’re tools for healing, growth, and connection, and help capture a child’s adoption and life journey in a meaningful way.
