    Howdie from fellow Wisconsite Abrazo family. You have made a terrific choice in adoption agency. We were in the November 2007 InDecision group and our angel was born in May 2008. We couldn't be happier for you and will love watching your journey to your little one unfold. We are from Green Bay, WI and if we can be of any help along the way, just let us know.

    Hi, we are from Wisconsin. Are you also in the Midwest? Brandy

    Hello to all the Wisconsin girls! My husband and I are researching agencies and I came across Abrazo by chance. Everything that I've read sounds amazing! My questions are this...we too live in WI, why did you choose to go out of state? Are there a lot of extra costs involved? I would be so appreciative to get your feedback (and anyone in other states too)!

    Thanks!!

    Hi Missy -- we adopted our first child, Jack, in WI 8 years ago. When he was 2 we began our adoption journey again and worked with 2 different WI agencies for 4+ years and the process was very slow and placement rates were dropping off tremendously in WI. We ended up having one failed placement. We started reseraching other options, both international and USA and learned more about interstate adoptions. It felt perfect for us and it wasn't nearly as complicated or costly as we thought. Plus we loved the idea of an open adoption. We found an agency in WI that had experience in interstate adoptions and started working with them and they helped us connect finally with Abrazo.

    The extra costs for TX vs WI are for traveling to TX, depending on how many trips you make before and after placement, and the time you spend in TX after placement while waiting for interstate compact approval from TX and WI. Abrazo does a great job estimating everything for you so you can plan and budget accordingly.

    Good luck with your decision. We highly recommend working with Abrazo and would be glad to help answer any other questions you might have.
