My 8 yr old niece was visiting for the summer & when we surprised her with one of the newborns in the nursery she screamed in delight. The entireexperience is a serious business for the "adopting" parent. My niece donned a hospital robe and picked out her baby. It was a special day for Mariahshe even named her Tula, from the movie Big Fat Greek Wedding. What a blast, when gifts are hard to pick out for children this one is a winner.
