Brian and Cathy

I was impatient this afternoon and mailed our application off with a note. Things are so crazy at work right now and it will be very hard for me to get to the post office during the daytime this month. If I find out a check needs to be sent, I will have no problem in getting it there overnight if need be. Cathy P.S. Hope you and Beth also have a good weekend!

Thanks, Adam. I will go ahead and submit our application today since I'm off and put a note about submitting the separate check (if approved--hopefully when approved). Cathy

Final application question. . . Should we include a separate check for the orientation with our application? I know we send a check for the application, but I'm unsure if we also send the other check at the same time? Or, do we await Angela's call before sending the orientation check? I'm hoping to mail this off today since I have the day off. I left Angela a message, but understand she is out until Monday. Cathy Final application question. . .

I think a lot of people would be surprised by this information. Thanks for sharing the actual facts with us Cathy

Some of you will find this hard to believe, but I've been thinking (yesterday and today) that it was about time for their to be another announcement I have had a very strong feeling that something would be posted any day about another Abrazo baby I must say that when I get strong feelings like this they usually turn into reality Yeah for both families once again! Cathy

How hard that must have been--especially since she isn't 100% in agreement with the decision Cathy

Thanks, Nichole I finally am. Three days without a voice during our busy season at work is a challenge! Cathy

How hard that must have been for him. It must have broke his heart, but at least he realized his daughter would benefit it the most to join another family. This brought tears to my eyes and I can only imagine what he was going through. Thank you, Elizabeth for sharing this with all of us who have been following this family. We look forward to learning of the new family and hope they will honor the father's request to remain in contact. In today's world, not all fathers would make a request like that. Good for him Cathy

Thanks, Adam. That's what I thought Abrazo might want to see as well. Doors and windows it will be or should I say it will include Thanks for your quick response from way over there Cathy

I'm not sure where to post this question, so I thought I'd post it here since it relates to the application. Can someone tell me if the floor plan should have windows and doors included in the drawing? Hoping someone can answer this for me. Thanks, in advance! Cathy

I've been thinking about this on several occassions again today. I've been wondering the same thing and hoping an update is in progress. Cathy

I've been wondering about this the past couple of days and hoping something is going to posted soon Cathy

Hopefully we'll hear something tomorrow and hopefully it is good news Cathy

I agree, and baby rats are so cute. I'll add a congrats to Abrazo for another successful story. Cathy

Is it best to call Angela to find out if one of our references has been received? Our reference e-mailed me and wanted to make sure it had arrived. I've been voiceless these past two days with a pretty bad cold so I haven't been able to call. Cathy

I can only imagine what you are going through right now--not including hoping to find your birthmother. I hope you are able to be successful in your search Cathy

Thank you for keeping all of us updated. We all hope this family will find another family soon! Cathy

I am sure your mother has thought of you more than you may ever know. We out here know there was more than one plan for you. . .to be a mother yourself is only one Cathy

I have thought about this innocent little girl all afternoon. I do hope there is an Abrazo family that can expand their family by one more child. Cathy

Jenny, I love the photo of your daughter--cutie, cutie Cathy

I do hope anyone who is in this situation that reads this, will call for their sake as well as their childs. Cathy

Linda, Thank you for your comments. I'm glad things worked out for you and your husband. Wow, a birthday so soon. Good for you both Cathy
