My hubby doesnt like going to the movie either. I love them so much that I just started going by my self. I thought it was a little lonely at first, but now I really like it. Its kind of relaxing to go alone. Also, I do plan to go see Juno....if I ever get time.

I agree....

Welcome to Abrazo! You found a good place. I love the forum too (even if I dont post as much as I should....I do read it every day). I am Jan and Gregs birthmom and the forum is a good place to keep in touch when we don t have time to make phone calls (Hi Jan!). So hold on tight because Abrazo works fast and you will be holding your new baby before you know it.

sorry its taken so long to reply. Weve been in the Nashville area for a week now and driving in these hills most of the time I dont have a signal for the internet. Were stuck in rush hour traffic right now in Nashville so maybe I can type this message and get it posted before I lose my signal again. Jan, I got Annies pictures (both snail mail and email). She is sooooo pretty! She has the cutest smile too!! Vegas was ok, we had a lot of fun, but now Ive "been there done that" so Im not in a hurry to do it again. Billy won a lot of money there, but we came back busted haha. Its ok though, we went there to have fun and thats what we did. The plane ride was terrible. Not in a hurry to ever do that again either. I was so scared at take off I almost passed out and started crying like a baby. I had to hide my face on Billys shoulder so nobody could see me being a little sissy. I was ok while we were in the air, but when we started to decend it felt like we were never going to land and I almost got sick. The plane ride back wasnt so bad. I didnt cry, pass out, or get sick so I guess it was good. Sorry to hear the birthparent reunion is no longer a go, but I dont think I would have been able to make it anyway. I hope I will get to go to the next one. Next month were taking all the kids camping at Bastrop state park. We rented a cabin for 4 days. I cant wait!!!!! Im really excited to go. Im sure all the kids will love it too. I guess thats all for now.

Hey Holly! Im trying to get down there. Were in New Braunfels until Wed. butthen we go back on the road that morning. So I wont be able to go to group. We just got back from Vegas...... ummmmm lets just say I glad were back and Im not in a hurry to go back to Vegas. Im really hoping I get to the reunion. I cant promise anythng though. I know I'll be really bummed if I dont get to go. Billys daughter has signed up on the forum, but I dont know why she hasnt posted yet. Kalin.....where are you????? She loves Jan and Greg and she wanted to get on here to be able to talk to them and everyone else. Shes only 10, but going on 30 real quick. Anyway, things are going good for us (fingers crossed) I hope it stays that way. Hope to see you gals soon! LOVE YALL!!!

glad you found us!!!!!

Lori, My name is Debra & I am 18 weeks pregnant. I decided when I found out I was pregnant that adoption was my only option. Then I was lucky enough to find Abrazo. When you get a chance to talk to them on the phone you will know why I think they are just awsome ladies. Also when they send you your packet it has a lot of good information in there for you to read. I know I've read it many times over & over. If you ever want to talk please email me. I think it would help both of us to have someone to talk to about what were going through. Take care!

Hello everyone! My name is Debra, and I am a birth mom (or will be in August). I saw Abrazo on TV while I was watching an adoption story on Discovery Health. I was working with Gladney (blahh) at the time, but I was very unhappy with the way things were going with them. When I saw Elizabeth talking about open adoption I knew that's what I wanted. I just had no clue that was something that was even done. So within 2 hours of my first phone call to Abrazo (which by the way was so amazing) I was being contacted by Ap's. All the couples that called me were wonderful people, but there was one couple that I clicked with instantly. Who knew things could be that easy? We both know in our hearts that we are a match, but were just waiting for it to be made "official" so we can meet in person. I know I'm dying to meet them. What I’m wondering is; are there any other birth moms on here who are still pregnant, have chosen AP's, and are just going through their pregnancy getting to know each other? I would also like to here from some "been there done that" birth moms who can give me some insight on the road I have in front of me.
