Much like other couples announcing their pregnancy, some couples in the process of adopting are eager to tell friends and family that they're "paper pregnant." Although when to decide to tell others is different for every family, announcing a growing family can be an exciting and fun way to include others in the journey.
Here's a compilation of some of my families announcing their adoption plans! (For more on each family's adoption story, simply click their names for the link!)
