Would you?

MBush4 · July 2013

A friend is adopting and it will be her first. The child is 3 though. Would you still throw a shower for her?

Yes I would. As a new Mom, there are still things she could use in the care of a toddler.

Definitely!!

Cool. I didn't want to come off as tacky, but I do want to celebrate her entering motherhood.

I used to be a foster care worker. That shower won't just mean something to the mother it will mean something to the child. Someday when he/she looks at photos of that day it will show how happy everyone was that the child was joining the family.

Obviously up to the mom to be, but I'd be really touched by the offer.

Yes.

I think having that visual memory for the child is a wonderful idea! I don't know if it's the hormones or what, but I definitely just teared up.

Sounds like fun! Buying toys or books for a 3 year old is more fun than a baby IMHO!

Yes

Yes. I plan to do the same for my friend when her adoption finalizes. The kids are 3 and 2.

Absolutely! Like PP have said, a shower is to welcome a woman into motherhood, and she is definitely becoming a mother. If I were her, I'd be very touched, and if I were an invited guest I'd be thrilled to participate.
