Abrazo is currently seeking profiles and homestudies for adoptive families who are open to a 5-year-old biracial boy who is hoping for adoptive parents who can provide him the bonus of a brother. Contact Amy at Abrazo if interested in additional info.

Abrazo staff sought to reach a family who has not kept up with annual reports, at the request of the child's birthmother, and we were sorry to learn of the death of adoptive mother Trisha Stewart... https://www.echovita.com/us/obituaries/va/spotsylvania/trisha-m-stewart-7962004 We extend our overdue condolences to the family, and hope her husband will respond to our messages and offer their child's birthfamily a much-needed update.

We were saddened to learn of several deaths within our adoption community in 2022... Our thoughts and prayers go out to * Kelly Yogerst, birthmother of Sebastian * Cora Truckenbrod, stillborn daughter of Priscilla & Emily & Mark and sibling of Lucas * Shana & Linda Dimambro, daughter and mother who were also birthmothers of Dylan & Shari * Maria Reyna, birthgrandmother of adoptees Josiah & Roxanne * Gewelene Montoya, infant birthsister of adoptee Maguel We are grateful for each other them, and wish them peace in their repose.

It's a New Year-- Abrazo's 29th!-- so we're just launching a new thread for the nursery announcements for the babies and children who get placed and adopted here in 2023. Happy new beginnings, everyone (and prayers forward for all whose arrivals are yet to happen.)
