Adoption Profile Books that Help You
Stand Out & Be Chosen
Find the expert guidance and beautiful designs you need to realize your dream of adoption.
This is no ordinary book.
Somehow, it’s meant to help an expectant mother picture her child in your life, and that is a delicate dance. You want to avoid missteps along the way, but this is unfamiliar ground.
We believe the process of creating an adoption profile book should include far more than the design itself. It should include the expert guidance you need to share your story with confidence and care.
“Without the help of Little Ampersand, we would have been so overwhelmed with where to start and how to organize our story for expectant mothers. It was one of the most enjoyable steps in the adoption process.”
— Ella K
“We were matched with a stork drop immediately and picked up our son 3 days later! The birth parents said they loved our book and were so excited to meet us and see we were authentic to how we were shown in the book.”
— Ashley H
“We were chosen by a birth mom, and our sweet baby boy was born on Sunday! I honestly feel we would still be in the wait without your help.”
— Mark and Katie G

From our adoptive family to yours!
Hi, I’m Kendahl!
In 2017, we had just started our own adoption journey and were faced with the task of creating an adoption profile book. I’m a graphic designer, so I decided to do it myself.
In just four months, an expectant couple chose us to parent their beautiful daughter, Hazel. They told us that when they read through our profile, they felt like we were old friends.
Now, 7 years later, I’ve created over 700 Adoption Profile Books, helping families just like yours connect with expectant parents and bring the newest addition of their family home. Over this time, I’ve learned there is a lot more than just pictures and words that go into creating a profile book that gets noticed. Appropriate adoption language, photo quality, bookbinding, clean page design, margins, printing companies, and more all play a vital role in your profile book.
Let me help take the stress out of creating your book.

"When the birthparents met us at the hospital, they said they were afraid that we might not be who we were portrayed in our life-book; however, once they met us, they could see we were as genuine as our book. We are so grateful that Kendahl was able to authentically capture our family through the lifebook and helped make our family whole."
