The thing is though, it would be appropriate if people were to through this family a shower, but no one is under any obligation to do so. It should be done out of someone's heart to bless and unfortuantely, when it comes to adoption, people sometimes don't have the same tact or concideration like they do when someone births a baby. We don't demand that someone throughs us a party for our birthdays. We also don't demand someone through our children a birthday party instead of us. If GretschDrummer starts feeling owed something, bitterness can set in and that is no benifit to anyone. Don't let the enemy get a foothold there. Instead, I would just show everyone how important this baby is and do your own party. Some people are really ignorant as to what to say or do. Some of us were ignorant too at one time. It is better to not be bitter and move on (JMHO).
