Okay... So I'm having a hard enough time throwing this adoption party because I feel like I'm throwing a party for myself and that's very odd (mom says no I'm throwing a party for my son.)

Anyway. Here is my problem. What the heck do the people do?! My son is 8 and doesn't want his friends to know he's adopted - so there will be 2 girls there that are friends of the family that are 5 and 6 years old. And they're the only kids.

Otherwise we have social workers, case workers, family, and adult friends coming to our party. What in the world do adults do at parties? It's going to be at about 2 PM on a Saturday afternoon. I was going to go buy snacks and foods at Costco - debated getting alcohol or not. My friends would drink it (not get drunk) but I don't think anyone else would. And there will be streamers and such.

I came up with ONE game of a questionaire to see who knows my son the best (favorite color, favorite tv show ect) and then they get a prize... I have no idea what prize. I also thought of having people writing down a memory of my son and I could put them into his scrapbook....

But from that point on I'm lost. It's going to happen in a recreation/meeting room - which has one huge table (for food) 2 couches, a coffee table, and a couple chairs. There's a patio outside with a picnic table and a small kitchen area. There's a pool but it's too cold to go in.

SO please please please please throw ideas at me - what in the world do I have people DO while they're here celebrating besides stare at the wall and wish they could leave already???
