I"m trying to decided on what to get my birthdaughter for her third birthday and I'm hoping you guys can help. I'm not sure on weather to get her a toy or an outfit. so as an adoptive parent do you guys like to recieve clothes or toy from your child's birthmom? Also if I do sent an outfit what size should it be? Do I buy 3T or should I buy 4T? I know that i'm going to stay away from tanktops, but what about shorts? Do shorts coming in different lenghts at those sizes or are they all about the same lenght? What if I go with a dress do I need to worry about the lenght of the dress?
i'm just so confused so any help would really be apprecaited.

my son's b-mom has never bought him anything and it makes me so sad. we have an open arrangement and i always have him make her something special with his hand or foot prints and as he gets older he will be able to make more things on his own. he is only 2 1/2 right now. i was just saying that what would mean the most to me (and hopefully to my son when he got older) would be a children's book that bmom enjoyed with an inscription in the front. that way i could read it with him and keep it for him so that he would have something from his bmom. it would not have to be somthing expensive you can get little golden books for a couple of dollars but it would be so special for him. i love to hear you are putting so much thought into this, her parents will appreciate anything.

Hi,
I think dresses or shorts are fine, but I am not sure about the size you would buy. I am not good at that. If you are worried about the size, you could also go with a small bracelet or necklace with her birthstone, it could grow with her and she would always know you gave it to her. You could even put it on a stuffed animal so she would have something to cuddle with. If you decide on clothes, just make sure you get something that is season appropriate for where she lives so that she can wear it. I think the book idea is great also. If you do not have a favorite children's book, then you just have to go hang out at a book store and read until you find one that you love.
My mom only saw her dad once in her life when she was a little girl. He bought her a pair of boots and a little coat. As much as she did not like that he never came back to see her or support her or her mom, she still has the boots and coat, so it obviously meant something because it was from him. they will treasure what you give, no matter what it is.
All my best! Good luck!
