Bracelet is 8" in length; charms are all Sterling Silver and approximately 3/8" x 3/8" each. The following story comes in the box: Every adoption story begins with a thought, a seed planted in your heart to love a child and make them your own. The long green bead represents the beginning of your story, symbolizing the seedling in your heart. Moving along the bracelet, the "Adopt Envelope" charm represents picking an agency and doing tons of paper work. Your seedling grows. Your heart aches. You hope. You dream. The blue bead and the "Globe" charm represent the country you have chosen, whether it is across the deep blue sea or under the same blue sky. Your heart keeps growing in love as you wait for your referral. The series of red beads and the "Heart" charm represent the red-letter day when you receive the referral! The "Suitcase" charm and series of gold beads signify traveling to meet your child and your first golden days with them. The bracelet ends with a "House" charm and more green beads that signify bringing your child home and growing together as a family. Throughout the bracelet you see white beads interspersed with small colored beads. The white beads represent the waiting, while the assortment of small colored beads represent the emotional ups and downs of growing, hoping, loving and waiting. Your bracelet can be customized by engraving any or all of the following: the name of your child's birth country on the back of the "Globe" charm, their name on the back of the "Heart" charm, and/or their Gotcha Date on the back of the "House" charm. Comes boxed with Story Card
