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.

It is important that adoptive parents demand to be treated like everyone that gives birth.... for the child's sake. This is about the child, not the parents. How do you think the child is going to feel when they find out their arrival did not warrent a shower while everyone else's did. Now is the time to stop the double standard, not just give up and accept it. Adopted children should not be treated differently under any circumstances, including their welcome into the community. If that community celebrates with a baby shower than that is what an adopted child deserves.
