In 2008, the adoption of my son & daughter was finalized. A month later my sisters gave us an adoption shower/party. We have pictures from this, I made and sent out adoption announcements, etc.
Last July, the adoption for my youngest son - their brother - was finalized. I started making the adoption announcements but haven't finished them. Nobody mentioned anything about an adoption shower/party this time around and so we never had one. I lost my job three weeks after his adoption was finalized, so needless to say I've been a little stressed.
My youngest son's and my daughter's birthdays are in June, 10 days apart. My question is this; would it be a good idea - from another adoptive parent's perspective- to not only have a joint birthday party (he's turning 2 & she's turning 7) but to also make it an adoption celebration?
I don't want him to grow up and wonder why we never had an adoption party when he was adopted...his was just as special as his older brother and sister's, if not more because he's my last kid.
Opinions? Thank you!!

truthfully? a year later is, imo, too late to celebrate the adoption. It might look a bit tacky to send out cards NOW, after all, everybody in your family already knows the fact he is adopted, right?
you could just throw a BIG party (not adoption party) in June, ask for everyone to bring a side dish, you can provide hotdogs/burgers/buns, have a great day, and celebrate ALL your kids :)
