Abrazo told us and our social worker the same ..to wait for final homestudy update..and realize that for a BOG you will have to move quickly and ensure your local agency will do that for you. We have a firm committment from our local WI agency that they will do that and get someone to our home ASAP...hope we get such a call soon - !!

The blessing for Joshua was beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us.

So happy to hear the news ---CONGRATULATIONS to Laural, Casey and Zachary!! Many blessings be upon you and your new little one's birth family and enjoy continuing to build a wonderful lifelong relationship. We are soooooooo happy for you all!!

This site is great...gives a wonderful well rounded approach to options for birthparents so they can indeed reach the help of someone who cares...they will be in great hands when they reach out to work with all of you!!! As a PIW, I really want to thank you for taking this additional step to get Abrazo's name and resources out there to birthparents...it shows a tremendous to committment to the open adoption community triad. Thanks and great job!!

Yeah - the 3rd little blue gift from heaven has arrived. Blessings to all!!

Congratulations to the new happy family -- can't wait to see the photo in the gallery and hear her beautiful name!!

What a wonderful story of open adoption -- Congratulations! x6 to the new family!!!

While the article states this grandfather has not led a crime free life, it does communicate how he feels about family and how the girls feel about him. He is their family and I believe the courts need to respect that...people do make mistakes in life and it sounds like he has taken strong necessary steps to turn his life around in the last 7 years. Since terminating parental rights can take some time, why not let the grandparents be the foster home and then the state can monitor through visits if they feel necessary to determine things are going well, before an adoption is final. The focus should be on what is in the best interests of the girls....

Welcome little one - prayers and hugs being sent across the miles to all!!

Laural -- The new room for Zachary sounds adorable -- can't wait to see what it looks...be sure to post some photos in the gallery. It is so fun to see the little guys love their new big boy room. I know when we did Jack's in construction...he just loved it too. Keep having fun!!

Welcome Thomas Hale as our newest Abrazo baby- may you have a wonderful life with your terrific new family. Congratulations!!! Patti, Steve and Jack

WELCOME little one and CONGRATULATIONS to everyone involved - little boys are wonderful miracles Patti, Steve and Jack InDecision07

Just came across this posting - it is worth reviewing the link if you haven't already done so. The photography is beautiful and more touching is the message of our "dash". A great reminder I think to what it truly important in life. Thanks.

We were so happy to hear your good news. Congratulations John, Nina and Hendrick on your beautiful new little girl - Sophie. Patti, Steve and Jack

I know some birthparents may think that having their child grow up in a Texas home will make it easier for periodic visits, but I guess it all depends on WHERE in Texas you live and your mode of transportation! Beaumont to El Paso is 742 miles and Beaumont to Chicago is just 770 miles and El Paso is actually closer to California than to Dallas! Very interesting perspective -- maybe TX to WI isn't too bad then either.
