It is so wonderful when a couple is able to adopt a baby. A shower for an adopted baby should take certain things in to consideration. The shower should be after the couple has adopted the child as sometimes adoption proceedings don't always go as planned. Also remember that the parents are going to want to spend some special bonding time with the baby, so the shower should be put off for a month or two. When picking out invitations, try to find special adoption invitations. If you cannot find these, at least pick invitations that are appropriate to the situation. It is good to ensure that guests know that the baby is adopted, so they don't say something at the shower that might unintentionally hurt feelings or make people uncomfortable. Because the shower is held after the baby is adopted, it is likely that the baby will be at the shower. Games might not be as prevalent at this shower as babies are often entertainment enough :-)
