Adoption Photobook

Just so everyone knows, we have to create a photo book and more or less use it to "sell" ourselves to the CPS caseworkers AND our potential son when they match us. It really helps because sometimes there can be some competition among different families for the same child (which is totally awesome) and in that case, the child/caseworkers/advocates etc will choose a family based on their personal presentation.

In saying that, usually the first choice to accomplish this is to create a Snapfish photo book and send it off but that can take a long time to receive back in order to send off to other caseworkers, not to mention pretty costly since you'd probably need to have several to successfully do it that way. However some choose to do digital books which is basically what I wanted to do. So here is our personal Photo Book Video that I'm currently working on myself.  I think I'm close to being done with it but tell me what you guys think and if you find any grammatical errors etc.  Of course I will be printing out a hard copy for our son to look at before he meets us, so the video is only for the caseworkers to view.

 Check 'er out!!

    1. Lol! Yeah I originally had it as "They're Amber..." but that didn't sound right to me so I decided to change it to "Their names are..." but I guess I forgot to change that one word. That's not the only issue though, as it turns out I have to add more pics to it and the way the song trails off too quickly bugs the life out of me. Good thing this is a rough draft.
