3 Thoughtful Adoption Keepsake Gifts

You can make the life of a newly adopted child you love special by giving an adoption keepsake gift

. Here are three of the best baby gifts to give to an adoptive parent or a newly adopted child, from personalized baby gifts to adoption baby books.

Personalized baby gifts are a wonderful choice for newly adopted babies and toddlers. A classic baby gift is to find an exquisitely soft baby blanket and have it embroidered with the child's name, his or her birth date, and his or her adoption date. Another popular personalized baby gifts for adoptive children is a personalized step stool, painted with their name. Every child will need a few stepping stools so they can reach the sink, bookshelves, and other high up places. Stepping stools are great for sitting on while looking at a picture book, or pulling up to a child sized table for a tea party. A personalized step stool with the child's name painted on it is a great gift for the slightly older baby who will soon be walking.

Another thoughtful gift for an adopted child is a multi-ethnic family doll set. It is important for children who are adopted into multi-ethnic families to feel that their family unit is just as valid and beautiful as families who all look alike. You can customize the set by buying individual dolls to match family members (including grandparents or important family friends).

You don't have to build a whole family of dolls, though, to make a fun gift. Multi ethnic baby dolls are another great adoption gift, allowing adopted children to hug and carry around a look-a-like doll as they process what it means to be adopted over the years.

Adoption baby books are a wonderful baby shower or adoption gift. You can find adoption baby books that are for open adoptions (which include pages for birth parents) as well as closed adoptions. Adoption baby books include pages for parents to tell the story of what happened while they were waiting, the day they first saw their new child, and the excitement of adoption day. Some adoption baby books also include pages to record information about the child's birth culture and history. Adoption baby books differ from other baby books, and avoid trying to tell an adoption story the traditional way. Adopted children will want to hear the story of their adoption over and over, recording it in an adoption baby book is a wonderful personalized baby gift the child can enjoy again and again.
