I have a daughter whom I made an adoption plan for when she was born, she is now 5. I recently had a visit from her over the past weekend. I decided to begin a scrapbook for her about me, so she can better get to know me as her birth mom. I'm struggling to figure out any other fun things to put in her book... like favorites of mine, foods, music, color.... any other ideas? Thanks!

My biological aunt compiled pictures from her side of the family and made me a scrapbook from them. I was so touched! I am glad you're doing this for your daughter, I'm sure she'll appreciate it (especially later on).
I think maybe, since she'll probably treasure it forever, to put other members of the family and your past (because it's hers too!) that she can look at and really feel connected. Not sure your story, but I really loved that she did that for me.

I think you are doing a wonderful thing, I really wish my b-mother had done something like this for me, she doesn't even have a single photo of me when I was born. Photos are always good, from when you were small till now as when she is older I am sure she will want to know what you looked like as a child etc ( I know I wanted to know this stuff). Speaking from my own experience, to be honest, I don't really think it matters what you put in, just knowing that you took the time and effort to do this and more importantly that you wanted to do this will be enough for her to know just how much you loved her and thought about her :)
