Great Allie! I know that had to be exciting to send that in! Goodluck and we look forward to following your journey! Tracey

Susan, Sending prayers and hugs to your family for the loss of Adrian. You ARE such a wonderful and caring person who touch so many lives around you. I'm sure Lisa and Adrian's family seen and feel the love that you have for both Adrian and Lisa.

Congratulations!! Can't wait to see the picture of the new family in the gallery! Blessings, Tracey (keeping this baby girl's first family in our prayers)

Kenny, Michelle and BIG Sister Sophia, CONGRATULATIONS! I am so happy for you all!! Welcome Carter, can't wait to meet you at the Memphis Reunion. Keeping "A" in our prayers and all of her family who is now your family. Hugs to you all, Tracey

Welcome Allie & Ross! You have come to a place FULL of information and A LOT of support. If you have questions that you may not find the answers to on the forum, just ask. Blessings Tracey

Happy Mothers Day Mari! I loved the poem and too will pass this along. I hope you and your daughter will have a wonderful weekend together relaxing and enjoying each other. Blessings to you and all your family, Tracey

Welcome Amy and Craig! It is great to see you jumping right in on the forum. There is so much information and support on the forum. Blessings, Tracey

Suzi, Yes that is what I was referring to, "reactions from people who have not adopted at all and who know nothing about adoption". Kenny, I don't think no one was referring to anything about international adoption, only the reactions and questions from people who ask questions about adoption. Just as so many know nothing about Open Adoption. Those are some questions and answers that get some "reactions" also. I do believe we all are so blessed from the way our families have been brought together. I couldn't imagine our life without Lathan as you could not imagine yours without Sophia. Sorry if you have taken this the wrong way. Safe travels to TX. Tracey

Amanda, I too see the surprising look on people face's when they ask me and I say TX. One lady asked me if Lathan was from China? What?? Tracey

Does the Abrazo "Chicks" need to educate Jillian Michaels on adoption??? Rescue something???

Welcome Bill and Tara! Can't wait to follow your journey! There is so much support and information on the forum! Blessings, Tracey

CONGRATULATIONS to the families of Abrazo!! What a wonderful Day! God is GOOD! Lifting prayers for the birthfamilies and may God wrap his arms around them and let them know how much they are loved. Tracey

Congratulations to Jim & Carine and Kimmy Jo on your new addition to your family a sweet baby boy! Blessings to all that love Benjamin. Tracey
