  1. Hi Brandy,

    Welcome to the forum and the Abrazo Community. My Husband and I had our son biologically and then 5 years later adopted our daughter through Abrazo. I really don't know very many books about adoptive and biological children. We just read the usual books about adoption. Our son is very easy going and we really treated our daughters adoption as just another way to create a family. He was very involved with taking placement of Leyna and we kept him as informed as a five year old should be about our progress throughout the experience. He was the first one to meet Leyna (she was a B.O.G.) and actually carried her to my husband and I after we had finished signing all of our placement papers. Both of our kids are very proud of this moment and love to hear about the day they met each other. Our children our now 9 and 3 and they get along famously. We talk about Leyna's adoption all the time and also about how Gabe was born and became a part of our family too. We make each of their stories special and they enjoy listening to each of them. I don't know if this helped. Please feel free to PM me or ask any other questions here. I'd be happy to help with what we've learned.

  2. Welcome again, Jenny! Its always good to see another Michigander on the forum!! And especially one that lives so close to us!! :D Please let me know if there's anything we can do for you and congratulations on the mailing of your inquiry. The first step to success in becoming a family! How exciting!

  3. Lighting a candle today for Ryan and his family (My husbands brother and wife) who are saying good bye. The minister has been called in and they are saying there is nothing more they can do for this tiny little angel. May his passing be peaceful and may his parents be touched by the Holy Spirit.

    Also lighting a candle for Elizabeth's Dad and her family.
