I’ve been busy with Etsy lately, and I’ve found so many possible gifts and personal buys that I decided to highlight some of the best adoption-related finds. All feedback ratings are as of the writing of this post–you should always check before you make a purchase!
Custom Fingerprint Pendant
by Diffraction
This is a pretty cool idea–you ink up chidlet’s finger, make a few prints on a piece of paper and send it to diffraction, who will create a pendant from it. We have a few things with J’s handprints on them, and even now they bring back good memories of the days we had just arrived home from Texas. 100% positive feedback. $25
OOAK Original Acrylic 9X12 inch Painting of your child or family
by aworldinvented
I love art like this: an adoptive mama-to-be paints portraits of your family from a photo. In the description of the items, she does mention that the paintings are stylized and won’t be realistic portraiture, but I think that’s pretty clear! 100% positive feedback. $120.
Born in my heart hand stamped sterling necklace
by klacustomcreations
Hand-stamped jewelry is one of my favorites, and this one says “Born in my heart” on it, so you can’t go wrong! 100% positive feedback. $41.90.
Adoption Hope Bracelet
by SignItYours
This shop is less than a month old and is raising money for a second adoption. From the description: “Red coral is said to help control your thoughts. Turquoise protects and blesses the person wearing the stones. Moonstone is calming and bring positive energy during travel.” New shop, no feedback. $8.
Meet Grow Love - An Adoption Necklace
by birthdesigns
Again, stamped jewelry. See, I really do love it :) This necklace is stamped with, “Meet, Grow, Love.” That’s a great way to think about adoption, isn’t it? 100% positive feedback. $58.
Expect Miracles Bracelet
by secondsister
Leather bracelet, pink cording, and stamped metal tag combine to create this the Expect Miracles bracelet. The artist, another adoptive mama, says she created the bracelet for others waiting for their own children to hold on to their hope because miracles DO happen. Sweet and true, don’t you think? 100% positive feedback. $40.

Etsy can be really addicting. I think if you find one thing it never ends there. I find myself going through all different types of miniatures I find that are actually reasonably priced and just can’t stop. I admit I am also an addict.
