You should absolutely allow them to buy your DS whatever they want. If you want to limit the toys (who wouldn't?) then have them buy him books, clothes, CDs, and later down the line, DVDs. They can buy him art supplies when he becomes older and they can get him teething toys when the time is right. There are a lot of gifts they can give that don't cost a lot of money. I think something you might want to consider is allowing them to babysit for you. Have a monthly "date night" with your DH and let your DS's former foster parents watch him for the night. That way they feel like they're involved and it won't cost them a lot of money.
