Late adoption is rare in Brazil, where 92% of children waiting for adoption are over the age of seven and only 9% of parents who want to adopt are willing to take them in.

To raise awareness of the issue for Brazilian National Adoption Day on May 25, diaper rash cream brand Dermodex teamed up with creative agency BETC São Paulo on a project called The UnPhotographed Album. As part of the initiative, a special album was created for three Brazilian late-adoption families, each containing illustrations of moments they would have experienced together had they met earlier in life – things like diaper changing and birthday parties.

The video was shared on Dermodex’s social networks with the hope of inspiring others to adopt.
