Hello fellow Adoptive Parents,

I have been working on creating an online adoption store for quite some time. My goal is to have my grand opening sometime in April 2009. Here is what I am working on;

*Baby onsies and children's T shirts for boys and girls that say;

"Ethiopia girl/boy"
"Nepal girl/boy"
"Just arrived form Ethiopia/China/Nepal"
"Worth the wait"

These will be embroidered

*Embroidered Adult T-Shirts/tanks that say;

"Adoption Mama"

*Screen printed Adult T-shirts/tanks;

The Chinese symbol for waiting created by the repeated word "Waiting"
The continent of Africa created by the repeated word "Ethiopia"
The continent of Africa created by a graphic design and the words "I will make a difference"
Ethiopia Rocks

I am still working on ideas for Nepal and China as well as more Ethiopia design ideas

*Jewelry

I am working with an artist to create silver necklaces and bracelets to reflect Ethiopia/China/Nepal adoption

*Other items

Custom baby burp pads
cute headbands for girls
diaper bags(
country specific)


Please Please Please give me feedback on ideas and if the items I am working on interest you. A % of the total profits will be donated to a revolving Charity.

Here are a few examples

Ilove the idea of having personalized adoptive country apparel to wear for me and baby. I have seen adorable baby girl stuff, just in case, and for those princes', develop an adorable little guy line! Can not wait to shop! Oh, also mom sizes, just a suggestion, will there be "above average" sizes available?

I think all the merchandise sounds great...I can not wait to be able to purchase some stuff.

On a different note, I commented on your last post and I am not sure that you got it and I also tried to find an email address through IAN, not sure it got to you. We have a lot in common and I would really like to visit with you through email. I have some questions.

Please email me at boocoomom@yahoo.com.

PS I am certainly not internet stalking you!!! I promise that if I do not hear from you this will be my last attempt. Thank you and sorry to be a pest.

Hi Leah,

I believe you are the same "Leah" who just e-mailed me?!

How about creating some items for parents adopting from Rwanda? I would definitely purchase them!

I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Nepal for 2 years and would be happy to share some ideas for items specific to Nepal.

Love your stuff!
Torri
