Dear Queenie,
My wife and I are not able to conceive a child so we are planning to adopt the child of an unmarried mother who is planning to give her baby up for adoption as soon as it is born.
Queenie, when should we announce this to our family, and is it proper for us to have a baby shower?—Expectant father
Dear Expectant father,
Because of the special circumstances, I suggest you tell your family and friends about it in person. I am sure a relative or a friend will want to hold a baby shower for you.
