Hello. Apologies if this seems clumsy or a daft question, but some friends who live on the other side of the country but who we know well and see face-to-face maybe once a year are about to become parents, through adoption of a toddler and an older child.
I am absolutely delighted for them, and of course I’ll send a card. Is it appropriate to send toys or books too, or is this the last thing they’ll need? I know that the early days, weeks and months of adoption can be as much as or more challenging than dealing with a newborn, so I want to make sure they know we care about them too and not just their children.
Can you suggest any gifts that’ll be useful to them. How best can we let them know that we care and we’re happy for them as a family?
