Hi Brandy, Welcome to the forum and the Abrazo Community. My Husband and I had our son biologically and then 5 years later adopted our daughter through Abrazo. I really don't know very many books about adoptive and biological children. We just read the usual books about adoption. Our son is very easy going and we really treated our daughters adoption as just another way to create a family. He was very involved with taking placement of Leyna and we kept him as informed as a five year old should be about our progress throughout the experience. He was the first one to meet Leyna (she was a B.O.G.) and actually carried her to my husband and I after we had finished signing all of our placement papers. Both of our kids are very proud of this moment and love to hear about the day they met each other. Our children our now 9 and 3 and they get along famously. We talk about Leyna's adoption all the time and also about how Gabe was born and became a part of our family too. We make each of their stories special and they enjoy listening to each of them. I don't know if this helped. Please feel free to PM me or ask any other questions here. I'd be happy to help with what we've learned.

Praying for Glenn and all of those who loved Priscilla.

Hooray Kay and Darren and sweet baby Elliott!! What an amazing couple of days for you all and many, many more to come!! We are so happy for you!!

Wow, I love it. You gals are amazing! I will spread the word for sure!!

Wow! Bailey's comments about her sister before she even arrived also gives me chills. Those sweet girls were meant to be together and here they are! What a miracle for all to witness!

Blessings upon your family, Mark and Laurie. What an amazing story that two sisters will now be together forever. Praying for their birthmom.
