It happened again-- somebody called this adoption agency known for ethical, fully open adoptions asking if we do "semi-adoption adoption." (Really? What was the last semi-open book you ever read and loved?) For years (32, to be exact) we've been working to educate the...
There are lots of different ways to be a good mom. There are good moms who parent, good moms who place, and good moms that adopt. Yet somehow, it seems a good mom rarely feels like that title belongs to her? Because whether they raise a child themselves or if they...
In the private agency adoption system in Texas, biological families have the option of voluntarily placing beloved children for open adoption through an agency like Abrazo, thus avoiding the possible trauma of state-managed child welfare proceedings and lengthy foster care stays.
If you've been hearing the name "Sasha Riley" lately, his recently-released recordings raise a very real question about whether adoption monsters are real? William "Sasha" Riley is an alleged military veteran, who claims to have been a German-born child named Manuel...
Not so long ago, "protecting adoptees from ICE" would have likely meant warm clothes and good boots. But not any more, sadly. And in America today, protecting adoptees from ICE applies whether a child was adopted in the USA or internationally. To avoid any hot button...

Here's the thing: folks can't just call an adoption agency and order up a baby. Adoption is not a business and babies are not a product to be bought nor sold. Sadly, some people do call adoption agencies thinking it does work that way. They're the folks who think that...
The hot new commodity in reproductive options seems to be Texas surrogates. Texas hospitals nowadays report seeing far more than Texas surrogates than birthmoms choosing adoption. Through South Texas, tacky billboards picturing pregnant women shamelessly tout "be a...
Interesting: "child adoption" is a common search term, although it's most "newborn adoption" that most hopeful adopters are seeking these days. (Why is that?) Abrazo has been doing both (child adoption and baby adoptions) since 1994. Since then, some things have...
