Photo book company for life story book?

[Rainallnight]

Our life story book from the LA is rubbish. So we’re going to do it ourselves. We’ve made lots of ‘normal” photo books through Snapfish, Popsa and the like.

Has anyone ever used one of these for a life story book? It would be really handy but a bit concerned about privacy etc so don’t know if it’s a bad idea.

I have made life story books with mixbook.com and they are beautiful! Mixbook has a template for adoption books, but you can use any of their design templates you like. They also have a board option. They have fantastic design templates which you can adjust the way you like. My children love their life story books and are very proud of them. They also hold up really well.

I use mixbook too. I've never looked into it but I assume it's an automated printer system and no employee is going to have time to open your book and go through it so privacy should be fine. For some reason I also believe they are printed in Germany so almost zero chance of someone involved in your adoption journey being involved with making a physical copy of your book

We just did ours in one of those scrapbooking books with see through pockets. DD2s was too old for her initially so we did a much simplified one with a picture on each page and about 1 sentence of text.
