Free Texas Adoption Help
For pregnant or placing parents seeking free Texas adoption help, Abrazo has long been a reliable place to turn. Since 1994, Abrazo has offered parents who need to give up a baby or child/ren for adoption a wide range of help and services free of charge. From...
The Parents Who Didn’t Listen
Once upon a time the parents who didn't listen used to be a childless couple who really wanted to adopt (but wanted to do it their way.) They'd heard of a little adoption agency in San Antonio called Abrazo that was doing big things, so they signed up and came to the...
