"Okay, pretend I'm just a kid and tell me all about adoption?" It's harder to do than it sounds. Adoption is sometimes complicated, after all. (Which may explain what sometimes makes it hard for parents to explain adoption to children?) And helping anyone know "all...
It's not every day that the Federal Trade Commission sends out stern warning letters on behalf of anyone working with adoption consultants. In a highly unusual move, the FTC issued warning letters to 31 adoption intermediaries across the US. It was a much-needed...
We're calling on America to spare the childless cat ladies. (And yes, J.D. Vance, we're talking about you.) This rising politician's cruel quote cut many down. He actually accused of those without biological children as being nothing more than "childless cat ladies."...
We'll be honest: we don't know how an open adoption works, elsewhere? But here's how open adoption has worked at Abrazo since we started doing it in 1994. Abrazo's favorite adoptions have typically been what is called "full-disclosure open adoptions." That may sound...

Abrazo is in need of more childless couples seeking to adopt. (But not just any will do.) We're seeking emotionally stable, financially-secure, childless married couples age 25 or over, who have documented infertility, and are committed to open adoption. (That's...
What does it take to be the best adoption agency in Texas? And what would inspire anyone to try, for over 30 years? (Really, why?) Decades ago, a young adoption professional began meeting with two Texas attorneys to discuss whether and why a state with so many...
