In a world overflowing with darkness, we all need a little light. What better place to find it then in greeting cards. Yes, greeting cards! We love when we see the unique story of adoption being told in unique ways.

Jayne Alfieri and Stacy Clark are sharing light in a very unique way and telling the unique and beautiful story of adoption through some of the most beautiful, heart-warming, real and honest greeting cards you will ever read. We’re serious. You’re going to love their hearts, and their passion for the adoption community. The ENTIRE adoption community- parents, bio parents, adoptees, and former foster youth.

A little more about Jayne and Stacy…

Jayne and Stacy are the creators of Tiny Type Studios and Adoptionly Yours, a small card and gift company with a big heart for adoption. They are two moms on a mission to brighten the world with the love of adoption. They believe in the beauty of birth mothers and the hope of happy families. Having traveled the adoption journey with their own families, and been there for others on the way, they know adoption is a story of wonder and waiting, loss and togetherness. Adoption is a beautiful, sometimes difficult, adventure of the heart, and Jayne and Stacy think the adoption journey needs its own special narrative for cheering on and loving along. So, they created a line of greeting cards that speak to the heart of the hope and hurt and joy of adoption. Their story includes the story of so many others along the journey, and these past few months they’ve been engaging in real conversations with adoptees, adoptive parents and birth parents who have traveled through the real hard moments, the misunderstandings and the love of this path to parenthood and family. In light of the national protests for Black Lives Matter, they’ve been particularly listening for the experiences of transracial adoptees and families and how race has impacted their lives in their adoptive families and the world. What they have heard has broken their hearts and filled them again and again.
