    Yesterday Riley and Bailey had their first Reconciliation. They were very excited but nervous as well. Father David is wonderful with the kids and really put them at ease. All the kiddos came out with big smiles on their faces and promptly did their penance except one of mine that forgot his. He came running to me all excited and then had a very concerned look on his face. He told me that he forgot what he was supposed to say and looked for me for answers. I told him I was not in the room with him so I am not sure. Luckily his brother came out and saved the day. I am very proud of them.

    First Communion in on April 26th. They are very excited and are counting down the days!

    Great job Nathan!! Riley and Colby went fishing this weekend as well and they loved it. Of course colby is just like his birthmother and is a complete animal lover that he wanted to hold every fish that was caught. He kept talking to the fishes like he could really hold a conversation with them. It was very cute.

    Hello,

    I want to share my story as we just became grandparents to a beautiful baby girl. I have always been a person of faith and last March when my daughter and husband first found out their birthmother possibly had a change of heart four days before delivery, I prayed and prayed as I have never done before - even more than when my husband was having surgery for removal of cancer. I just knew that God could not allow my daughter and son-in-law to miss out on the baby girl they had been totally prepared for both physically and spiritually. Well, it did happen and although I didn't totally lose faith, I was seriously doubting my beliefs. Gradually over the next couple of months seeing the faith of our children, I again turned to God and my prayers. I was able to visit my kids in Apr. and saw the nursery, all the pink clothes as well as everything a baby could possibly need and it was so hard for me. My kids had faith, joked about possibly getting a little boy and having him use '"pink" things and the "if" word didn't enter into the mix - it was "when".

    Needless to say God did have us all in his care as they got the call and had their little angel within 24 hours. God was merciful as they did not have the stress of waiting and again wondering every moment if the birthparents would change their mind. It goes to show that God does not forsake us and for me this was a personal affirmation that God is always watching over us.

    On the bright side, our new little one is grandchild #12. We have 7 boys and 5 girls and each and every one of them has been, and is a highlight in our lives. Our new little addition is very special as we have waited much longer than the usual 9 months for her arrival and know her mommy and daddy will be fantastic parents. We are so blessed.

    Three new set of parents and three boys!! How is awesome is that! I hope the Abrazo staff has some to breath before the next placement because judging from what has happened over the last few days it could be at anytime.

    Congratulations to all the new parents!
