Congratulations to Lindsey and Ryan. Melissa knows what she's talking about when she says your little Jack will bring you more joy than you could ever imagine! ;-) !!!

Congratulations to the newly formed families! God bless everyone. <3

Thinking of this newly formed family and Victor and Yuli's first family and remembering our own similar placement in 1994. God bless all of you.

Congratulations Kristen, Rich and big brother Alex! It's a girl ... yay!

Congratulations to all!

I never had the pleasure of meeting D'Nola or Bruce, but am so happy that they got to reunite with each other. May she Rest In Peace. Thinking of Karen, Scott, Amanda and Lexie.

Stork Central always has a way with words. Beautifully written. Blessings to all.

Adding my congratulations on your baby bundle of BOY!!!!!

Add me to the list of Forumites who shed tears over this announcement. Congratulations to everyone involved.

Susan, I'm so sorry for the loss of Adrian. Thank you for so eloquently telling us the events of the past day or so. I am praying for all of Adrian's children and loved ones, as well as those who are connected to Adrian through adoption.

What a beautiful birth announcement.<3 Congratulations to one and all. Praying for "A" tonight.

Such a tragedy. Thinking of this family and praying for them.

Brian and I attended Shelley's funeral today. I am sad beyond belief for Evan, Emily and Jessica Mann. Shelley, Evan, Brian and I met in July 1994 at our Abrazo orientation and have remained friends ever since that weekend. Shelley was the first person to call us when we came home with our family in October 1994. We have celebrated the births and adoptions of their two daughters. We were honored to be asked to write a reference letter for them when they were on their journey to adopting their second daughter, Jessica. They moved to NJ a few years ago (but about an hour or so away from us) and we did manage to have Cassie and Emily meet a few times. I have posted a few statuses on facebook without mentioning Shelley's name because I am so heartbroken about her passing. For those who don't have facebook, this is my current status. "A beautiful life has come to an end, she died as she lived, everyone's friend. In our hearts a memory will always be kept, of one we loved and will never forget." Shelley was my dear friend and I will miss her tremendously. <3

Boy oh Boy oh Boy!!!! Congratulations to all the families! So happy for everyone.

Christmas blessings of the best kind! Congratulations to the two new families. Prayers being said for their first families.

Lots of Congratulations are in order! Congratulations Mark and Erin! Congratulations Ric and Theresa! Congratulations Andy and Jill! You are blessed! You are blessed! You are blessed!

Dear Jesus, please hear the prayers of this momma as she makes a loving (but I'm sure very difficult) plan to place her two children for adoption. I pray that someone opens their hearts and home to these two little ones. Thank you for listening, Lord. Amen.

The statement about an adoption fair being like a pet fair made me mad too Amanda! :angry: Willie really needs some adoption education. While I am glad for Nathan, I'm sad that Willie's years of planning didn't teach him when to keep his mouth shut!

CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS! Tara and Eric on the birth of your baby boy!

Congratulations to Tracey and Denver on your bundle of BOY! You have been such a support to everyone on the Forum ... we are all rejoicing for you!

WoW! I feel out of the loop too, but glad that I know now what everybody else knows! Congratulations Bill, Susan, Tasia and the newest member of their family, Elektra! Yay for newly formed families! Keeping Elektra's first family in my prayers. <3

Andrea, Don, Clara, Zach and Zach's first mom ... I'm so happy for all of you. Thank God from whom all blessings flow!

Congratulations to the Romandetta's on the newest additions to their family, Eli and Griffin!!!!! Prayers for their birthmom.

I'd rather be "stuck in Texas" with a beautiful baby than anywhere else on Thanksgiving Day! Congratulations to Suzi and Ben and to Lisa and Ben as well! May all your Thanksgivings be as thankful and happy as this one!
