Is it just me or is there an entire area that companies are missing out on? There are baby books everywhere you look but hardly any adoption books!

I created ours myself b/c I couldn't find anything that I liked. I've been thinking of creating them for others as well b/c I couldn't find anything that I wanted when I was looking.

So here's my question: Am I just not looking in the right places for these or are there really hardly any out there & is there really an interest in adoption scrapbooks/lifebooks? I know that baby books didn't fit our situation at all. We even have an adoption baby book that was premade but it's more for a domestic adoption where you know birth parents. We didn't know our DD's birth family & we met her when she was almost 11 months old so we couldn't even use the first 10 months of pages to put photos & milestones...the book is pretty useless for us since we can only fill it out 1/2 way!

My idea is to create custom made scrapbooks/lifebooks where ppl can just slide their photos in (don't even have to use glue!) & write descriptions (I could even write them in if the wording was given), everything else would be done. So does my idea sound off the wall or a good idea? I'm very unsure of it b/c of the economy though but I know ppl still need to document for their children so it's a catch-22 for me!
