gift experience baby image
Anondovy
I'm a little torn on this subject. I'm constantly reading that it's proper etiquette to open gifts at your baby shower however what if you have a baby registry and some people have sent the gifts to your home? If some people bring the gift and some send it to your home and you open the gifts, won't the ones that send it to your home feel left out?
Ladies who have had a shower and have had a baby registry please comments and help me based on your experience. Thanks!
Answer
Usually the only presents sent to the house are from people that can't make the shower.
I wouldn't take the gifts to the shower, maybe if the shower was at my house I would open the presents at the shower. If I could wait that long.
After you open the presents at the shower say your thank you's and say thanks for all the presents that were sent to the house.

My sister is having a baby it will be here sometime in august of this next year. She wants me and my husband to adopt the baby. I just don't want her to be able to take the baby from us later in life. Please tell me what I need to do.
Answer
What you do is stop being so damn selfish and instead of trying to take your niece or nephew away from its mom, you help your sister parent the child that she's giving birth to!
Please pass the following information on to your sister:
EITHER PARENT OR ABORT!
DO NOT ABANDON YOUR CHILD TO ADOPTION!
Seriously.

What you should KNOW if you're considering adoption for your baby @ http://www.cubirthparents.org/edd/index.php?id=1
If you know you don't want it now, then get an abortion before it's too late, because if you abandon it, you're screwing it up for life - and probably yourself too. If you don't want to abort, then please do not allow anyone pressure you into abandoning it.
Also, don't listen to anyone suggesting that open adoption is the way to go - it is almost never legally enforceable! Many parents have lost access to their children due to "open" adoption promises. Please read http://lifemothers.com/thewall.html and www.bringperihome.com/ and www.exiledmothers.com/adoption_facts/wish.html and http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100709095305AAjeM4z and http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100830162150AAi478W before listening to the hype.

For the adoptee every day is a challenge of trying to figure out how to be, although he probably doesn't understand the difficulty this presents for him. It has been true his whole life and, therefore, feels normal. However, it takes a great deal of energy and concentration. And it never feels quite right. He never quite fits. Therefore he feels as if /he/ is never quite right.
(pg 50)
Abandonment and neglect are reported to be the two most devastating experiences that children endure - even more devastating then sexual or physical abuse. That's why some neglected children do naughty things to get attention. Even though the attention is hurtful - being yelled at, hit, or otherwise harmed - it is better than neglect. /Anything/ is better than abandonment. Abandonment is a child's greatest fear. For adoptees, it is also reality, embedded in their implicit and unintegrated memory.
(pg 102)
It is sometimes difficult to spot grief in children. After all, it isn't as if the child sits in a puddle of tears his entire childhood. As one adoptee said, "Of course I played, laughed, sang. Do people think that if you're not sitting in a corner with your head on your knees, you are not sad? I had happy times, but the sadness was always there, even when I was having fun."
(pg 117)
Please, if you're not gonna abort your baby, then make damn sure you parent it. Read http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2009/03/breaking-silence-on-living-pro-lifers.html - it's by someone who made both choices at different times in her life.

If you go to a Planned Parenthood clinic that has a low-income program it can be as cheap as 100$. If you tell them you have no job, no money and no support, they will likely have you pay the minimum for the procedure and get donations to cover the rest.
