Having More Kids
When it comes to having more kids, how do you know when enough is enough? Babies don't just happen when the timing is "right," of course. For people with infertility, babies don't "just happen" at all. Couples with infertility have to make very conscientious choices...
Welcome to the Motherhood
Hey, you: mother who just placed or mom who just earned the title through adoption... welcome to the motherhood. (Adoption is the mother of all neighborhoods, after all!) Whether you've been longing to join this club for-seemingly-ever (as many adopting mothers do) or...
Adoption Expectations
When it comes to adoption expectations, there's a lot to be said-- and so much more to be thought through. Adoption expectations can be frisky 'lil critters. See, it's fine to be hopeful, but it's not okay to be presumptuous. And while it's good to be positive, it's...
How Adoption Works
Here's an easy guide to how adoption works here at Abrazo. (This isn't meant to suggest that adoption is easy, though. It's not a simple thing, to decide to place a child or to adopt a baby.) Chances are, adoption is not as complicated as it may seem? Abrazo's staff...

My name is Jasmine and giving my baby away was the hardest choice I ever made. I know there's nicer ways to talk about what I did. You're supposed to say you made an adoption plan. Or you placed your baby for adoption. But that's not how my family sees what I did....
If Your Daughter is Pregnant
If your daughter is pregnant and this wasn't in her plans (or yours,) then you're both going to need an extra helping of support. You're both going through a lot right now, even if you don't know how to talk about it. Maybe you suspect your child is pregnant and you...
What Adoption Agencies Should Tell You
Every adoption agency is different, of course, but here's a starter pack of what adoption agencies should tell you, if you're considering adoption. Adoption is wonderful. And complicated. And not right for everyone. Whenever parents-to-be are willing to set aside...
Complicated Connections
Complicated connections can make even the most needed adoptions feel like an even bigger challenge. This doesn't mean the whole placement is wrong. It just means adoption can be, well-- complicated sometimes. When folks think of a "complicated adoption," they...
