Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

  • You’ll start by using our Get Started form. From there, you’ll receive a folder filled with all of the materials necessary for our collaboration. This folder has guides to help you write your text, upload and take the right kind of photos, and clear, step-by-step instructions.

  • Yes! We proudly work with families of all kinds and celebrate the diversity of family structures. Every story is unique, and we’re here to help you share yours with authenticity and care.

  • No. Many families begin their adoption profile while working on their home study to save time.

Pricing + Packages

  • Yes. Every adoption profile we design is delivered as a PDF that you can use as your digital adoption profile book. These are often shared by email and viewed on phones by expectant mothers, so we make sure they look great on small screens. We also offer featured family pages, a 1-page online profile presence with a shareable URL for you to use in your outreach.

  • Your fee includes custom design, two rounds of edits, and final digital files. Printing and shipping are separate. We also offer optional add-ons like adoption videos, featured family pages, and social media post programs.

  • We print adoption profile books in batches of 5, with a minimum order of 5 copies. Pricing starts at $105 for 5 copies.

  • Yes! We keep your files on hand so you can reorder additional copies at any time.

Design + Style

  • We highly recommend investing in a professional photoshoot. It makes a big difference. Adoption professionals, agencies, and attorneys want adoption profiles that feel polished, warm, and clear, and that all begins with great photography.

    Your story is powerful, and we want to make sure your images reflect that. Low-resolution or poorly lit photos (even ones you love) are tough to work with and can lessen the impact of your adoption profile. That said, we can still incorporate a few favorite cell phone shots as supporting images throughout your book, but for your main photos, a professional session is absolutely worth it.

    We’ll set you up for success with tip sheets and guidelines on how to get the right images, plus discount codes for Snappr and Shoott if you need help booking a photographer. Remember, this is your one chance to make a great first impression—and great impressions start with great photos!

  • We strongly recommend an adoption profile that is 12 or 16 pages as it gives you the space to share meaningful photos, thoughtful text, and those little personal touches that help expectant moms connect with your story. Our most popular option is the 16-page adoption profile, which looks beautiful on both desktop and mobile when shared digitally.

    We do offer shorter formats (like 1-page front-and-back, 8-page or 4-page adoption profiles), but these are usually only recommended when an agency specifically requests it. Most adoption professionals agree: more space = more connection.

  • The most impactful adoption profiles are the ones where your personality shines through. Expectant parents want to imagine their child’s life with you, including your traditions, daily rhythm, and home.

    We’ll guide you in choosing high-quality photos and writing genuine, relatable text that reflects who you really are. Your adoption profile is designed around you so it feels fresh, vibrant, and authentically yours.

    Agencies also share what connects best, such as bold clothing or clean, modern layouts. We understand these nuances and design adoption profiles that highlight you while also aligning with professional preferences.

    Important Note: If you’re open to adopting a child of another race, it’s important to show racial diversity in your profile.

  • We take your style notes and have you choose favorites from our style boards. From there, we combine your preferences with your agency’s requirements to create a custom design. You’ll see a proof and can request edits before finalizing.

  • Not at all. While we follow a few proven layouts that help tell your story clearly and beautifully, no two adoption profiles are ever the exact same. We design around your photos, your voice, and your unique vibe.

    Our style is warm, colorful, and modern—but always flexible enough to fit agency preferences and your comfort level. The goal? An adoption profile that feels like you and helps you stand out in all the right ways.

Printing + Delivery

  • Most adoption profiles take 4–6 weeks from start to finish, depending on when you provide text and photos. Once we have all of your content, your adoption profile can be ready within 14 business days. Your digital adoption profile is available as soon as you give final approval, and printed copies usually take 2–3 days plus shipping.

  • Yes. You can reorder printed adoption profiles at any time, and we’ll handle the details.

  • Most families use both print and digital versions, and some choose to add a featured family page for extra visibility.

  • No, an adoption video isn’t required, but they’re becoming increasingly popular—and for good reason. Agencies, attorneys, and adoption professionals are seeing just how powerful video can be in helping expectant parents connect. Seeing your expressions, hearing your voice, and watching you in motion adds an authenticity that photos and text alone can’t provide. Our adoption videos are designed to feel natural and genuine, combining music, photos, and short clips to share your story without the need for long scripts.

  • It gives you six months of ready-made posts, graphics, and a content calendar so you can show up online with confidence and consistency. You’ll save time, stay active on Facebook and Instagram, and still make each post feel authentic to your story. Our social media plan + post program is especially helpful for families adopting independently who are doing their own outreach.

Your Online Presence

  • Yes. We provide prompts, examples, and editing support to make sure your story feels honest and clear. We also guide you in using positive, current adoption language and follow your agency or attorney’s instructions so your adoption profile aligns with their preferences.

  • Yes! We can update your adoption profile anytime you need. Fill out our Get Started form to begin. Many families return for updates after adopting again, moving, or experiencing life changes they want reflected in their book. Updates are billed hourly, so you’ll only pay for the time it takes to complete your changes.

  • Two rounds of edits are included. Additional changes are available for a fee.
