The addition of a new child to a family is a wonderous occasion! An adopted baby is just as much a miracle as any other and should be celebrated as such. And all babies need “stuff”, even an adopted child, so having an adoption baby shower for this child is not only acceptable, but necessary.
There are some differences you should consider when attempting to plan this a baby shower for adoption. You will need to know
age of adopted child first of all. Some couples may have adopted a baby, but others may have adopted a toddler or older child.
You will also want to find out if family wants to celebrate baby shower for adoption before or after baby/child is adopted.
For infants, 
basic necessities, such as diapers, clothing, feeding items, and nursery décor are appropriate for adoption baby showers. The parents-to-be of an adopted baby/child should register for baby shower gifts just same as any other parents.
Though it is rare, some adoptive mothers are able to breastfeed their infants, so you should take care to find out what this mom-to-be will be doing. If she will be bottle feeding baby, gifts of baby formula will be helpful, though you may want to wait to find out what type of formula she will be using, since there are so many.
Some families choose to acknowledge adopted baby’s birth mother in some way. In some cases, they have formed a close bond with birth mother and may choose to include her in adoption baby shower festivities.
