Wanted to sound off
Gosh, Hubby and I went through 8 years of infertility and one failed adoption and I did not want ANY baby things in my home until we brought OUR baby home. Our son was born in July and the ONLY thing I had for him were some outfits. I asked one of the sweet ladies in our church if I could borrow some of her son’s things (pack-n-play, bouncy seat, car seat) and she gladly offered. She is adopted as well!!!
We really needed a shower. With all the cost and expense to adopt a shower was a huge blessing to us. We had an open house/welcome home/shower. Our family, friends and church family came. We even received several meals.
I guess most folks don't understand the trials of infertility and adoption and how much we looooonnnggg for a child.
I am like the original poster...I have contributed to soooooo many baby showers in the past (with the added sadness of not having my own child) I would have appreciated the favor returned.
