Donate To Abrazo

Supporting Abrazo Through Donations and Contributions

Abrazo depends upon the kindness of its donors. This means that when you donate to Abrazo, you enable our agency to accomplish acts of charity far beyond our own means.

If bettering the lives of those who place babies and children for adoption is where your heart is at, give here: Support Birthparents After Adoption. Your gift can help parents who have placed to pursue their GED, earn scholarships for college or trade school, attend our biannual Birthmother Homecoming Retreat, and so much more.

Want to help in other ways? Click here to donate to the Angel Account, a charitable fund administered by Abrazo’s Board of Directors, which provides limited financial assistance in cases of unexpected or extraordinary need within our adoption community. Your tax-deductible contributions made to Abrazo’s Angel Account (and also through donations of good and services) go a very long way here. Those who donate to Abrazo have

• provided free counseling services for those in the San Antonio community;
• helped offset financial losses for some adoptive families in disrupted adoption plans;
• assisted with burial costs in cases of fetal demise;
• offered assistance to Abrazo families affected by hurricanes and natural disasters;
• subsidized unanticipated medical and equipment costs for families with special needs kids;
• enabled donated Christmas stockings to be sent to the birthsiblings of Abrazo’s newest adoptees;
• offered respite opportunities for parents of special needs kids adopted through Abrazo;
• provided filled goody-bags for birthfamilies and adoptive families attending agency reunions;
• assisted in search and reconnections for open adoptions in which contact’s been lost;
• offset unexpected legal expenses in some contested cases;
• subsidized Camp Abrazo costs for disadvantaged attendees;
• enabled adoptions of hard-to-place babies and children;

and done so much more—- acts of kindness all made possible solely through the generosity of our donors.

Abrazo’s newest charitable giving opportunity is the Spencer Miles Memorial Fund. It was established in 2023 to honor the all-too-brief life of a talented young adoptee who struggled with mental health issues, despite having an open adoption, a wonderful family and the best of care. To help provide post-adoption support for other Abrazo adoptees and their families in Spencer’s memory, please donate here.

Every summer, Abrazo’s loyal alumni and their families help sponsor and support a raffle at Camp Abrazo, the proceeds of which are split between the Abrazo Angel Account, the Abrazo/Mitchard Birthmother Scholarship fund, and the Abrazo/Wilkins AbrazoKid Scholarship fund, being established to assist deserving Abrazo children (adoptees and birthsiblings) with the costs of attending a college or trade school.

We are deeply grateful for the contributions we receive and the love with which they are given. These gifts make a tremendous difference in the lives of so many, within and beyond our greater Abrazo family. (And truly– we couldn’t do it without you! We know that.)
