Would flowers be appropriate?

A friend has their adoption confirmation hearing next week. Would it be appropriate to send congratulations flowers if everything is confirmed and finalised? We see each other a lot as kids at school together but I only met them after their son came to live with them so have not known them for a long time. Would you be pleased to get congratulation flowers in this circumstance? Thanks

Definitely a card as they may well keep them as part of their child's adoption story. Cant see why flowers are a problem but I gave my friends a set of children's books

Flowers, chocolate, or anything else. Don’t overthink it. I’m sure they will appreciate the gesture.

Thats very thoughtful of you.

Absolutely yes to marking the occasion in some way
I’d be a bit careful with flowers though as they may get some from family.
Photoframe maybe, or wine?

Very thoughtful of you. Flowers sound lovely.

Always appropriate to mark the occasion - flowers, a card, a photo frame all good.

Ours is also next week and I really hope our friends think of doing this! Absolutely appropriate and very nice:)

I second wine :-)

Anything to show you are happy for them id wonderful.

Yes! I think that's a lovely gesture. I guess it just depends what important dates the family celebrate. We focus on the moving home date for both our kids and we celebrate them as their day. But for a one off like this I think this is a really lovely thing to do.

Ah that's a lovely idea 😊
