My husband and I are adopting a child, I dont work cause im disabbled,my friend brought the idea of having a party for the child to introduce him or her into the family(will be older child)then she said why not make it into a shower so the child will get clothes,toys ,school supplies etc.We never had a child so we have nothing but love to give.Were not broke we live pay to pay like other people what im asking is ,is it rude to ask of such a thing for people to bring gifts.And also how would you ask people to do so. Thank you for your advice : Confused

I think its definitely okay to have a welcome home shower. I mean your introducing this child into your family. Why not? I would assume people would bring gifts to any other kind of party/shower why not this one.
Congratulations on the new family member.

What a wonderful idea both for you and your child as long as the child doesn't feel overwhelmed by all the attention. Some children don't like to be the centre of attraction but you will know that yourself. Good luck and have a wonderful day Laughing

When my cousin adopted her daughter the family threw her a baby shower and everyone brought gifts. It was an excuse to get the family together, to meet the new baby and to help out the new family. I think its a great idea Smile
