My Hubby and I are adopting an 8 year old and this is our first child. We are looking forward to our "Welcome Home Party" as there will be many things we shall need for our new daughter. I would say Yes, have the shower for your friend/coworker. They will be a lot of things they will need for the new member of the family. We are having our "shower" after we bring our little girl home - something to think about if they have not met the child yet. In our case she is Euro-Asian and from Russia, we have not yet met her and do not know what sizes she'll need or what she likes yet as far as toys and stuff goes.
