I sort of hope that if we are able to adopt that we don't receive gifts from the birth family. I think it might make me uncomfortable. I'm pretty picky about the kinds of toys my son plays with. I like toys that are well made, educational and require imagination (not batteries) to play with. I also make sure they are something that I have a place for. I've had to tell my Mom to cool it with the books -- she was bringing a suitcase full each time she visited!
I go to some peoples houses and they have rooms and yards full of plastic junk that is barely played with. That would drive me crazy.
So I read these posts about sending presents to a bmom for her bday or mothers day -- well I hope there is no expectation for us to do that when we don't do that for eachother. We usually celebrate birthdays, mothers day and fathers day by doing something together like going out to eat or going to a park, and our parents get cards and a phone call for those occassions.
