In Denial? Late Planners, You're Not Alone!
Stork Central replied to Stork Central's topic in Considering Adoption?
She didn't choose adoption, but here's a current story about what experts call "cryptic pregnancy"... click here. -
Abrazo had no waiting families open to sibling groups this month, so the agency reached out to others and was grateful when a former AbrazoMom help led introduce us to a homestudy-ready Texas couple who shared the birthmom’s desire for open adoption. After weeks of getting to know each other and preplacement visits, the birthfamily and adoptive family made the decision to become forever family, giving two sisters the best of both worlds… blessings, all!

Here's the latest update--- Abrazo has been VERY conservative in its admissions practices throughout the Covid pandemic, and as a result, we are in urgent need of * childless couples with racially-open placement preferences, * Hispanic and/or African-American adoptive couples, * parents seeking to adopt noninfants, and/or * applicants living in Texas who are ready for open adoption. Visit abrazo.org/hoping-to-adopt to learn more about Abrazo's placement program and to download the AP Inquiry (preapplication) form that's needed to get the process started. Have specific questions after reviewing the entire website? Call our Family Services Coordinator, Amy Byrd, at 210-342-5683, during business hours.

They didn't get to return for another orientation weekend, due to the ongoing Covid pandemic, and they waited for more than a year to get back into Abrazo's program, since they already had a child... but the Good Lord always gets His timing right, and sure enough, when these againers were readmitted, they were just in time. An expectant mom due within a month found herself in need of just the right family for her baby girl, and she found them within the ranks of Abrazo's Crown Club. Their plans to meet prior to the due date were foiled by a delivery that happened unexpectedly, but they're all making up for lost time now, with a precious newborn enjoying being cuddled by all of them, including a very proud new big brother. Blessings, all!

Greg & Emily love their life in Tennessee, but the one thing that's missing is a child, and they hope a very special birthfamily in Texas can help them change that, through open adoption. To get to know Greg & Emily (and to find out why it's virtually impossible for them to ever take a bad photo!) contact Abrazo and we'll make the introductions. (Seeking an infant of either gender and any race. Paper-ready and waiting since February 2022.)

This Texas high school music teacher and physician are so ready to embrace open adoption and become loving first-time parents! To get to know more about Grant & Yasmin, just contact Abrazo and we'll gladly put you in touch. (Seeking an infant of either gender and any race. Paper-ready and waiting since November 2021.)

A young single mother of two already, she knew her limits, so when she found herself divorced and unexpectedly pregnant, she wanted a better life for the baby through open adoption. She chose the best parents she could for him, and this pandemic-era Crown Club couple truly welcomed her and all her children into their lives with open arms. We are overjoyed for all of them, and especially for the newborn son they now share.

The adoptive parents had endured a year-and-a-half long wait (and failed adoption plan) at another local adoption agency before coming to Abrazo. But a loving birthmother helped make their miracle possible, and this weekend, thanks to her (and to Abrazo’s staff, who gladly worked overtime) these pandemic-era Crown Club members became the proud parents of their first child, a beautiful male newborn. Blessings, all!

Jeff & Kristen did their first adoption through Abrazo, and they’ve proven to be such great parents, we’ve welcomed them back. To help their son become a big brother and to give your baby a loving home, why not allow us to put you in touch? (Seeking an Anglo or Hispanic infant of either gender. Paper-ready & waiting since December 2021.)

Abrazo’s first boy baby in months was Liam, whose four parents chose his name together. What better way to celebrate National Sons’ Day than by making two couples proud parents of newborn Johan? Blessings, all!
