A co-worker of my mom's is formally adopting a child (she's fostered her for a year or so) and some of her friends mentioned throwing her a shower when it's all finalized. The little girl is 8 or 9. My mom didn't think a shower was necessarily appropriate, or that gifts would make any sense since the little one is older, but I told her I'd ask you ladies and see if any of you know of etiquette in this situation.
TIA!
