Jacob, 9 months old, NJ | 29 DAYS WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Jacob is living with his sister in an adoptive home because his biological parents were not able to take care of him when he was born. Jacob is thriving and loves his adoptive family. Jacob is fortunate to grow up with his older sister, who loves to give him hugs and kisses.

Jacob needs a scrapbook to hold photos of both his biological and adoptive families, along with the important milestones that mark his story. This wish carries special meaning for Jacob because he's still too young to remember his biological parents or the experience of his own adoption on his own. Having a scrapbook would give him a tangible way to hold onto that history, something he can look back on as he grows older, helping him understand and connect with his full story, where he came from, and the family who has since become his own. It's more than just a photo book. It's a way to preserve pieces of Jacob's identity he might otherwise never access.
