Congratulations to you all!! What a great family picture!

I agree... even adopted....Shame on them.

CONGRATULATIONS Kay and Darren!!! Being a parent gets better and better each day too!!! Traci

EEEERRRRR :angry: Yesterday when I was talking with a dear friend, she was telling a story about someone, who was adopted. She went on to state that the woman had found her REAL parents..... Did I say EEERRRRR. Yes, I am sure you all have friends and family that also need much adoption education. She has said this same type of language several other times. I want to correct her so bad but not sure how to do so without hurting her feelings because she would never intentionally hurt mine and she adores Lauren. Any suggestions on a polite response? I know this is probably on the wrong thread since this is an infertility thread but not sure where else to put the comment. Traci

Pam, To answer your question on why wait 6 months following treatment, there is a good explaination by Elizabeth under adopting after infertity and I have bumped up the thread for you. Best wishes to you on your journey. Traci

Bumping up this thread for Pam. Not sure how to link it to the inquiry thread. Not so computer savy.

Congratulations to all the new families!! Traci

Congratulations to your family! Keeping your birthparents in our thoughts. Traci

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWEST FOREVER FAMILY!!!

If you have Microsoft Publisher on your computer, you can create your own business cards and microsoft.com has tons of free cip art and designs to use on your card. All you have to do is go to a business supply store (OfficeMax, etc.) and get your card paper. It's really pretty easy and kind of fun. Just an idea for you. Brett

Congratulations to the newest forever family!!!

Thank you God for our sweet daughter Lauren who You brought into our life on October 20, 2007. Thank you God for Abrazo and the wonderful support of family and friends who have helped us through infertility and adoption. Thank you God for adoption of all of us into Your family. I pray for our birth mother and birth father who are having a difficult time now. I pray for their healing and comfort. God is good all the time and all the time God is good. Praise be to God. Amen. Traci

Congratulations Ricky and Laurie!!!! Cannot wait to hear more about your precious little girl.

Congratulations to Walker, Nita and Camille on their newest addition to their family. Traci and Brett

Well everyone out there in Forum Land, here it is: Lauren Isabel was born on 10/20/07 at 12:42am. She weighed 7lbs. 1oz. and was 20.5 inches long. She had a complication at birth that could have turned pretty serious but God put his hand on her and helped her through it and now she is here in the hotel room with us today. Today was our placement day as well as her discharge day from the NICU and what a day it was. I know Traci and myself will both cherish today for the rest of our lives. Lauren is so precious and, looking back at all the things we've gone through to get to this point, she makes it all seem worthwhile. Keep saying a prayer for our birth mother and father for the healing that still must take place in their lives. We've had the opportunity to meet them and talk with them some this weekend and they are a couple of truly wonderful people. Thank you all for your kind words during this whirlwind experience. I'm sure Traci will post soon but right now she and Lauren are sleeping. It's just about feeding time again so I'd better wrap this up and get another bottle ready for the little one. By the way, did I mention that she is beautiful! Brett

Thank you. We are staying really close to the Abrazo office and feel lucky to be as close to so many stores and restaurants as we are. Hopefully things won't get to rough on us but it's nice to know so many people who are willing to help if needed. Thanks so much. Brett

Congratulations to all the newest families this week!!! Traci

Yes. I could not figure out how to say that last night because I don't know my child yet but this is exactly what I was trying to say. Traci
