I am having hard time choosing a color scheme. I think these are my top favorites. I have set up a poll on the sidebar where you can vote for your favorites.
#1 Blue/Green/Brown Stripes
#2 Blue & Brown Squares
#3 Brown & Blue Stripes
#4 Brown & Orange
#5 Blue & Green 
#6 Blue & Green Stripes
#7 Green & Brown
#8 Green & Brown Stripes
After I decide with page to use as our cover I will add some embellishments and change the text up a little. I know it is hard to see on some pages. Right now I am just trying to decide with page I like best. I think I have 3 that I like best, but I mixed them up in there to throw everyone else guessing. I will probably carry the color scheme through the entire book, but I might make up a page of just me and of just Josh and if I do that, there's a good chance my page will be pink! Thanks for you help and be sure to vote or leave a comment if you have suggestions. If you can't decide between two or three, I think I set it up so you can vote for more than just one. Thanks for the help!

ok can I just say a big NO on the squares and the pokadots. I think those patterns take the focus away from your pictures. You want to enhance and frame the pictures not draw the eyes away from them. The camo pattern is a little distracting too.
I think they all look great but I like 1 and 2 and I also like 5 and 6. I recommend putting a solid piece behind the writing so it's easy to read.
Hi Savannah. I voted for #4. I love the color combination - the orange, brown, blue, white. I agree with Ashley that you do want to enhance the photos. But the page as a whole really does stand out. The page may catch the eye of a PBM and then she can look at the pictures once the page has captured her interest. I wonder if you can change the opacity of the background paper to make it less bold. If you are using Photo Shop Elements I can tell you exactly how to do that. But, I don't think it is really necessary. Also, the text is hard to read. I would add a small square of "paper" behind the text and then make it see though, so it makes the text stand out. I will email you one of my pages so you can see what I am talking about. :) Good luck! These look great! Remember to go with your gut feeling!!
Another suggestion is to think of what colors are more calming. Also which ones are more commonly liked. I know you want the page to display you but you also want it to sooth an already hurting soul. This may sound like mumbo jumbo but I think it would help. Place yourself in your birth mom's shoes and think of what you would pick with all those feelings going on inside you.
