Personalized adoption gift for DYFS social workers...?
|
Ok, i will be finalizing my adoption of a foster child that i have been caring for since may of 2009. My experience with NJ DYFS has been a great one, and i would like to show my gratitude to the social workers who have helped me by giving them a nice gift. I was planning on giving them a personalize portfolio or something of that nature (you know something that would be put to use) i just didn't know what to have it personalized with... i want something that sounds nice- something to let them know how appreciative i am for having them place such an awesome baby boy with me.
ps- i am open to other ideas it does not have to be a portfolio- it can be anything good.
also the personalizing website only allows 40 characters (that's including the space between words)

DYFS workers are not permitted to accept gifts of value. A nice picture frame with a photo of your new son would be appropriate, as long as the gift is less than, say, $20, they should be able to accept it. A letter to their supervisor commending their work would be greatly appreciated. Send them a copy and a copy to the office manager. Congratulation on your adoption! |

Public workers aren't allowed to accept gifts. I'd make sure and see if she could even accept something more than a picture or a card or something. |

As long as the gift is less than $100.00 it will be fine. You could also consider taking in several prepared dishes at noon---most all offices have a kitchen. special cookies, a large vase of flowers for her desk---I've done that for our secretary. Some of gift certificates, even to a fast food restaurant would be nice as they have to eat on the run Many times. |
