My wife and I are adopting our foster daughter. What kind of gift can we get for the baby's case worker?

Getting our Foster Daughter adopted has taken 2 years and her case worker has become a close friend. We want to thank her, but are unsure of what to get her. We are looking for something small to show our appreciation.

I think a framed picture of your family would be a wonderful gift. She could display it in her office to motivate her to when her job gets tough.

If it is through a government agency you cannot get them a gift, as that could be considered a conflict.

Send a card and bake everyone in the office some cookies. A note of thanks goes a long way.

I think LJacks idea of a framed family photo is nice. You could do an engraved pen set or letter opener that has something along the lines of "many thanks for what you do".

If wanting something less personal then maybe a gift certificate to a nice restaurant in the area or a spa. Her job is probably pretty stressful so a spa day might be nice.


nice g
A nice letter.

God bless you! I think flowers or a gift certificate would be wonderful.
You are fortunate to have such a wonderful worker. And she is lucky to have found you. Keep on fostering--we need people like you.

When I adopted my son through foster care my case worker was wonderful she was my sons guardian angel and watched over him and protected him at all cost all the time. What I did was get a nice picture frame and i put a picture of my son on the bottom and then on the rest of the page I went and found a beautiful poem to describe the way we felt about her and what she did for us as a family it was about guardian angels. She LOVED the picture frame sooo much then the day of the adoption she went to the court with us for the finalization and my son gave her flowers and a card and a BIG hug and kiss and said thanks he was only 15 months old at the time. Hope this helps and congrats!

1. If indeed she has become a close friend you would not need to ask Y!A strangers what to get because you'd know what your "friend" is interested in and or collects.

2. The woman was doing her J-O-B. It's inappropriate to give a gift to "appreciate" that you now have a sealed deal and someone else has lost a daughter.
