Great shirts!!! Love the slogan, and we will wear them with great pride.... Thanks

Well said Stork Central! Their's is a tale of great faith, love and perseverance. Congratulations.

Yeah!!!! My current Abrazo T-Shirt collection is starting to look a little too worn out... Can't wait for the new one to arrive!

Boy - Boy - Boy... sounds like a great roll you're on! Let's try to keep it going!!!!!!!!!!

That is a really great idea and a very informative, friendly website. Smart ideas from smart people!

Erin... If you are open to situations that you did not indicate on your paperwork, then I would certainly make a call to see if that makes a difference. It is sometimes difficult for any of us to know what situations we are capable of handling until such time as the situation presents itself to us. I know that just a few short years ago, I wasn't sure of that myself... Place a call tomorrow.

Welcome Erin and Mark, Tracey and Denver, and Jenny G. Abrazo is a wonderful organization and the Forum is an excellent source of information, inspiration and support. Feel free to ask any questions and contribute in any way you can to the open discussions. We look forward to following along on your journeys! Peace, Dan

Glad to hear you are up and about. I agree with you about the predictions of Doctors. Sometimes they are WAAAYYYYYY off in their assessments of healing time or even life expectancy, etc... I know they try to give time based on experience, but every person is so different, it makes the job of predicting so difficult. We will be praying for your speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you at the NJ reunion. Dan, Erika, Danny & Matthew

Hope and Joel - Congratulations! We are so happy for you. Blessings on your family, your beautiful new baby and your proud BP!

Congratulations! Great News. Blessings on you, your Birthfamily and your new bundle of blue!!!

We came to Abrazo after a disastrous contested adoption case with an attorney who "specialized" in private adoption. We were looking for an agency, because we had enough of dealing with adoption attorneys. Our NJ social worker gave us a list of about 10 agencies - the last one being Abrazo, and her comment about Abrazo was "they place pretty quickly, but it's mostly hispanic kids." I did my best to research the 10 agencies, some had websites, some didn't. When I looked up Abrazo and read about them, I really liked the idea of Orientation. I spoke to Angela and she was extremely nice, informative and compassionate to what we had been through. To be perfectly honest, by the time we arrived in San Antonio, we were pretty beaten up by the adoption process and were in desperate need of some hope. Abrazo gave us an education about open adoption, that frankly made us feel somewhat embarrassed about our contested adoption experience. Most importantly, they gave us back our sense of worth and hope that we would one day soon be parents. We chose Abrazo because they took the time to know who we were, accepted us, and restored our faith in the process and showed us that open adoption is truly the only way.

Congratulations, and welcome Henry Linton! We have all been waiting for you to arrive for quite some time. 1st Abrazobabe of 2008... God Bless!

May this Season of Hope find a loving home for this precious child. I remember all to well when Danny was in the NICU Level 2 - how tiny and the other babies there were, and how alone some of the other babies seemed to be. Thanks to his Abrazo Aunties for visiting with him. He needs love now. Praying he finds a home.

Blessings on you, your Birthfamily and your beautiful little babies! God is a truly good - All the time!

All I can say is Wow... Congratulations to all the new families!

Congratulations Todd & Eileen!!! I am so happy for you both! It was a pleasure to meet and speak with you at Camp Abrazo - I look forward to meeting your daughter next year! Dan Gallagher

Is there anyone who still doesn't believe in Angels & Heroes... God Bless the newest Forever Family & your courageous BP. I stand in awe!

Melissa, That was great. Much to reflect upon. Thank you. Dan

Wow, what a Blessed month October has been! Congratulations to all the new Adoptive Parents, Birthfamilies and Abrazo having a hand in making it all possible!!!

Great News! Congratulations NITA, WALKER and CAMILLE!!!! Big hugs from NJ Your amazing journey continues! We can't wait to see pictures of your new son!

Karen, I just read your post. I am sorry that Brian is hurting so badly inside right now. I will pray for him and your whole family. Please know that we are only a phone call away if you need a friendly ear to vent. Peace to you, Brian, Hilary, Brian and Cassie. Dan

Congratulations to both families! It is always great to read about new placements and know that so many lives have been forever changed. Enjoy your new little ones, and know that God is truly Good - All the Time!!!

It is very sad to hear that news. Does he still have a chance to be adopted, or will he most likely bounce through the foster care system?

Congratulations!!! What a great name for a beautiful little boy!
