It looks like we will be making an extra trip just to visit, becuse of the hold up caused by them moving my son to a new place (clear across the country). So because we have already been approved by the adoption center for this child, they said that gives us permission to come and meet him and perhaps visit some officials who could move things along. (I personally hope that it will shorten the next trip!)
Should I bring gifts on this visit? He is now in a place that is more like group homes, there will be ten other "children" though most might be teens and all are disabled, either physically or mentally or both and two adults in his little home, however he probably doesn't know them very well yet, as he has only been there a few weeks. Are there gifts I should bring on this trip or just buy flowers and chocolates and such there? I was going to bring him a gift from each of my other children. (My plan was to buy two of each thing and keep one at home in case the toy dissapeared between the first and second trip) When I go again I will stay for the duration, so I will have some time then perhaps to shop for things for his friends?
I had thought about bringing him a cowboy hat since we are in Texas, although they are not as common as the movies portray them, we do live in the country and they are worn. Anyway, what would be proper gift etiquette for this visit? I think that if we go when we want to, we will be there for an open house at the facility he is in now. (I think that some of the children there do have parents and for them it's more like a boarding school)
Anyway, I am writing down all the suggestions.
