She is pregnant and sleeping in the park these days. She has lost all her worldly possessions recently. So she lacks an ID, which would be necessary to qualify to stay in a shelter. She's in her late twenties, but looks much younger. Child Protective Services already...
Dear Texas Governor Abbott: Greetings from the best 'lil adoption agency in Texas, Abrazo Adoption Associates. Our staff has been visiting your workplace every other year, so you may be familiar with us? (Because unlike a lot of Texas adoption agencies, we speak out...
These are just some thoughts on abortion & adoption. Those two words are just two letters apart. Yet there's a world of difference between the two procedures. (After all, one is meant to end life, while the other is meant to enrich it.) Abrazo sometimes gets...
"I need to give up my baby," she said. She hadn't gotten much (any?) prenatal care. (That would've made the unwanted pregnancy seem far too real, she said.) She hadn't told anyone she was pregnant, except her parents. They told her they didn't need her bringing home...
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...
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...
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...
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...
The Fiesta San Antonio baby story is one of our favorite Fiesta memories of all time. It happened during Fiesta many years ago. Abrazo's staff was having lunch at El Mercado, when the pager went off. (Many years ago, remember?) Elizabeth called the answering service...
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....
