Adoption
Adoption Celebration
I know I shouldn't think ahead as we are not 100% sure we are adopting this baby, but I am already planning in my head what the adoption celebration will be like. I want it BIG. I have money saved for it. I want it fun for kids...but great for adults too. So a reception hall/nice restaurant would be OK but only if we could make the event child friendly. Or we could opt for a big backyard party and get a bouncer, etc. Baby will likely be one yr old when adoption is finalized. Any ideas?

Re: Adoption Celebration
Personally, I prefer parties at someone's home. Everyone is more relaxed and seem to have a better time. IMHO
My BFF did a fish themed first bday party. She had a baby pool for kids to spash in with lots of toys and a sand box. They BBQ'd. Everyone enjoyed it. She is a Martha Stewart-clone so she spent money tying everything together. It was adorable.
For other ideas, try going to a baby board for babies nearing a year. I am sure the moms have all sorts of fun bday party ideas which could be turned into an Adoption Celebration.
I myself am not a huge fan of big adoption/finalization parties, BUT here is a link to an AMAZING one!

Also, if the finalization happens around baby's first birthday, could you do a combo party -- birthday and finalization?
That is a super cute link for a party.
I personally am more of a at home kind of girl. I would opt for a big party at home.
