I don't imagine I'll have a shower until well after the baby is home and all the papers have been signed -- maybe even until after the adoption is finalized. I can't imagine inviting people to a shower and accepting gifts from them only to have to give them all back and explain that the adoption failed. We live in a small town and most of my friends, while well-meaning, are somewhat gossipy, and I can't imagine answering the "what happened?" question fifty times. DH and I are going to purchase what we'll need right away, I guess, and then fill in later on as we decide we need something else.

But everyone has to do what's okay with them -- my opinion is definitely the minority.
