Sending sponsored children their own photos Cancel Title is required

I saw somewhere on here where someone said that sponsored children don't get copies of their own photos. I think it'd be really neat to send them copies of their own photos! I doubt that most of them have access to cameras so they probably have little to no photos of themselves. So I bet they'd like having photos of themselves and their families might like having them too to display in their homes.

Has any of you here ever sent your children photos of themselves? If so, did they like receiving them?

I was thinking of printing some on photo paper from my computer and sending them to my children.

I send them their annual photo if it was good (I often glue it into their birthday card), and good SNG photos that include other family members. I don't send every photo of the child alone because I think it would be strange for parents to have a big box of photos of only one child...

I'll probably send 2 copies of the photo of Sarbari and her siblings, so they can give one to their father. They're living with their mother and grandmother in the city so they can get benefits while he works elsewhere.

I think that is such a good Idea I think they would love it

i usually send my kids a photo of me holding their photo.

I usually don't although I have sent a couple. When I send a child an introductory pakage I usually send a photoalbum with pictures of me and those important in my life. And since I theme it on those important to me, I usually include their pic in it.

I also have just printed the pictures from Steve's visit with Brayan because his mom just mentioned wanting to see them in the letter I got yesterday. So I am sending a letter with some pics and stickers or something off to Kansas City for him. I also have a couple really nice family photos I have been meaning to make copies of to send also!

So do people usually print out their photos? On regular paper? I was thinking of putting the digital photos on a drive and bringing them into the photo shop to print out.

Right now I upload my pictures to Walgreens site and then just go pick them up. They are usually ready in about an hour. I do have a 4x6 photo printer at home that is great but I need the ink for it and sort of got used to doing it through Walgreens.

My printer does 4x6 photo prints (or larger). But note that Steve always takes his kid their photo printed 8x10 on regular paper.

I do it more for the parents than the child, actually.

I have sent my own picture and their most recent picture with my first letter to each of my kids so far, except Jackeline, whose letter I sent through the website. (I was going to wait until I heard from her, but I couldn't make it ...). I usually just download the photo from the site to a USB drive and take it to the drug store to print out a nice copy. My scanner and printer aren't much to speak of.

Typically I also add the entirely unnecessary remark that they are prettier in their photo than I am in mine, a self-evident fact.

It never occured to me to send pictures of the kids to the kids until other people did it on the google group. I sent Khayrunnesha pictures of her from when she was younger (when I visited) as well as some more recent and some updated pictures from me and she wrote in her letter "Thank you for the pictures of my childhood" hehe. Such a mature young lady!
