  6. Domestic Adoption with a larger family?

    in Looking to Adopt

    Posted

    Would love to hear from others who have adopted using Abrazo for child #3 or more. As yet, I have been unable to get my husband to agree to adopting an AA child, so it would be Cauc/Hispanic for us.

    We would also consider toddlers and preschoolers.

    Blessings,

    Cameon in NC

    Cameon,

    We are the proud parents of three boys. Our first two are bio twins and our third is an almost 2 year old Abrazo babe! Since he was the only child we have adopted I really do not have much to compare to. I can tell that from the time we sent in our inquiry and until we brought him home was 9 months. We were the last of our group to place but we had a five month match with our son's birthmother. I do not feel that our situation was very different from anyone else in group just because we were already parenting. It was just a matter of time and patience waiting until the "right" match came along. Talk with Abrazo and they can give you all the details. Best of luck!

    This was a birthday week two of our Happy Holiday Hopefuls (12/06) will never, ever forget.

    The week began with the disruption of a match that was looking increasingly ill-fated. They'd truly hoped things would work out, but they became certain their baby was elsewhere, and so circumstances forced them to move on.

    The Hopeful dad celebrated his birthday with his wife the next day, surely remembering at some point the loving mom in a country far away, with whom he spent his first hours of life, before his adoptive family came for him. He could never have imagined, last Wednesday, that the very best gift of all, the miracle he and his wife had longed for, was about to be delivered just two days later, in a western border town.

    And this morning, another loving mother made the same decision for her child's life that his birthmom made for him, so that this afternoon, another couple could give the gift of the future to a precious little girl. May her days be bright and happy ones, and may this be only the beginning of a special and lifelong friendship between the two mothers and two fathers whose love for her is truly their gift to each other.

    Congratulations to the new parents!

    Jada,

    I am sorry that you have found yourself in a uncomfortable position but I think you are doing the right thing by informing his mother what has been happening. I do feel that this will work out for the best. His mother maybe alittle upset/shocked at first but hopefully she realizes that he has been in contact with his sister for some time now and is handling it well. Sometimes it is so hard to take the first step but once it is done for you, you find that you really did not have anything to fear at all!
