This post is not in reference to me, but to the people out there who know someone who is bringing home their first child through adoption.
People who are adopting like to have baby showers just like people who are giving birth! I know a few single adoptive moms who have friends, families and coworkers who never thought to throw them a baby shower. It might be because the timeline is an unknown in adoption, or people don't have the visual reminder of the big belly to let them know that this person is about to become a parent. The people I know who have been passed over for this celebration are usually hurt and feel that their adoption isn't as exciting to the people around them as maybe a sister or coworker's pregnancy.
Anyway, if you know someone who is becoming a parent through adoption, throw them a party!
