Introducing a new line of bracelets that appeals to
the adoptive mother's heart! Designed by Sarah k.
an adoptive mother herself on behalf of Asia's
adoptive Mothers everywhere. This is a ONE OF A KIND
concept, never before shared and now available to you today.
"Expressions" is a "wordless" bracelet that says everything
in an adoptive mom's heart and mind with perfectly chosen
and perfectly placed beads which tell the tale of one mother's
journey to her adopted child in turn bringing two moms
together in love. The build of the bracelet includes key writings
and symbolism that will forever remind any adoptive mother
of her journey to her precious child.

~~~The beautiful centerpiece of the bracelet is an asian
flavored picture with the Simplified chinese characters for
either Taiwan or China all designed and hand inscribed
by Sarah K. herself.
~~~The blue sparkling beads on either side are called
"Gallaxy stars" and represent the very large and very
same beautiful starry night that Birthmother, child, and
adoptive mother sleep beneath night after night.
~~~The mother of pearl circle encompassing a beautiful
fresh water pearl in white, blue, or pink; to the right of
"the country" represents the Birthmother and the child
she carried and protected until the adoptive mom could find them.
~~~The empty Mother of Pearl circle to the left of "the country"
represents the Adoptive mom on the other side of the world,
waiting to find or reach the Birthmom and child.
~~~The Red "Emporer's Crystal" represents the invisible
red thread linking the two mothers and baby.
The belief is as follows:
"An invisible red thread connects those who are
destined to meet,
regardless of time, place, or circumstance.
The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break."
- an ancient Chinese belief
~~~The Hearts at the ends represents the well known
Adoption Creed that most adoptive moms hide in their
heart along with the dream of their child to be.

Adoption Creed
Not flesh of my flesh    Nor bone of my bone, But still miraculously    My own. Never forget    For a single minute: You didn't grow under my heart    But in it.
