  1. LIGHT A CANDLE

    in Abrazo's Chapel Potluck

    Posted

    Adding a prayer and lighting a candle for a very special couple whose dream of adopting may have been dimmed by what happened today, but hoping they will keep the faith, because they're sure to be wonderful parents when the right case does come along for them...

    Praying that faith be restored for this couples dream of building family through adoption. My heart breaks for them. This is difficult. Let us know if we can help. Hugs, Nita

    Congratulations to The Ventura Family!

    It was a so touching to be a part of the candlelight

    vigil last night with the newest Abrazo Family!

    Many Blessings for this family and this very respected and gracious birthmother. If you think Ayanna's photo melted your heart, you should see her birthmother. WOW!

    Love, Nita, Walker & Camille

  11. Putting up a Praise!!!

    in Abrazo's Chapel Potluck

    Posted

    I would like to say a prayer of thanks as I arrived home in one piece tonight. As I drove home I was nearly side swiped by young woman anxious to get to Jack in a Box. As she whipped through the turnaround and then tried to cut over four lanes to make the entrance, she did not see me right beside and slightly behind her. As tired as I was, it was only by the grace of God that I responded quick enough to slam on my brakes, swerve my car, fly up on the right turn median and screech to a stop. At one point we were close enough I could see what radio station she was tuned into through her window.

    Our cars never touched but I think my heart is still in my throat. :ph34r:

    Oh Renee, how scary! Thanks to your quick reaction and like you said, the swift Grace of God I'm Thankful you are safe. Hugs, Nita

    Prayerfully believing that homes are awaiting these two special arrivals. May the hearts that are lead to these children be prepared to embrace their individuality and wholeness in completing the definition of family. In Jesus Name, Amen

    Congratulations Joe & Nancy!!!

    I can't wait to see you guys at camp!!!

    Congrats on the addition to your wonderful family!!!

    Nita, did Tina's post scream loud enough for you! :lol:

    Ok, Ok, I got it now! :D

    Surely you've heard of sequels, and prequels, but how about threequels? We're here to tell you, they're three times as fun, and it's another set of againers who so enjoyed their first two Abrazo adoption experiences, they've returned to Texas for a third. This time, they are welcoming into their family a precious tot who happens to also be the biological sister of the daughter they took home just last year.

    Some of you will find this hard to believe, but I've been thinking (yesterday and today) that it was about time for their to be another announcement :) I have had a very strong feeling that something would be posted any day about another Abrazo baby B) I must say that when I get strong feelings like this they usually turn into reality :D

    Yeah for both families once again!

    Cathy

    Oh Cathy! Gotta love those feelings! And may they keep on coming!! :)

  16. When Birthgrandparents Don't Agree

    in BirthGrandparents & Important Others

    Your visitor will be blessed by the peace she received making restitution of something she has no ability to change. God Bless her for sharing such a growing moment of character.

    This brings to mind the experience of a former customer. Her son and daughter -in- law had one young child, they were already parenting. Then chose to make a secret, loving decision for there second child. They just didn't feel equiped at the time to parent two children.

    The grandmother was made aware after the fact by a mistaken call from the daughter in laws OB office. She confronted her son who told her it was none of her business. She compounded his already grief striken heart by making irrational statements in public, notifying every family member she could and allenating her daughter-in-law. What a nightmare~

    Over the next several months of seeing her and hearing the resentments; her only sons betrayal, etc...I saw what was once a bubbly lady, turn into a resentment striken person. I barely recognized her and dreaded her faithful appointments. She just could not get over the fact that they made the decision and there was nothing she could do to change it. That her son made this decison with his wife, without her and she had no control. "Unforgiveable at best" are the words I can still hear her say.

    I have wondered about this lady over the years. She was none to happy with me leaving my job to be a full time Mommy to an adopted baby.

    Reading this story gives me hope of healing and forgiveness. For all the Grandparents who are missing out on the treasured gifts in life, their Grandchildren.

    Our prayers and thoughts will continue for all involved. May this little girl always know just how much her Mommy and Daddy both love and respect her. God Bless this child and the new life she will embark. And Thank Goodness for Abrazo and the education and practice of open adoption, It's a place where dreams come true, and a place where everyone involved in the dream are united as family and cared for!

    Hugs, Nita

    Praying with you for this birthfamily. AND one precious little girl who has stolen all our hearts. Sometimes we all try to protect ourselves from further pain. It often manifests by projecting our pain and fears at those we care about; more than we care to admit. I'm praying for forgiveness and peace within this situation. That this little girl can see the brighter future that is intended, that she deserves. That her memories of this transition are filled with Love and Hope.

    Thank you Elizabeth for the update. Hugs, Nita

    Praying for this sweet, sweet birthmother....I know she is having an incredibly difficult time right now. I can't imagine how painful it would be to have the awesome privilege of being this precious little girl's mommy for four years and then have to make this heartwrenching decision.

    Also praying for this wonderful, precious, beautiful little girl....with all that's been going on in her life lately, I pray that this transition will be as smooth as possible. And I also pray that when it's all over and done with, she will still have that precious little smile that we couldn't help but fall in love with the first time we saw her picture!!!!

    And for the adoptive parents that this sweet birthmother has chosen....help them to have the patience, understanding, strength, consistency, and most of all, the LOVE that this little girl will need. What an incredible gift they have been given....and what an awesome responsibility!!!!

    Wonderfully said Tricia! Amen.

    I find myself running back and forth to the computer to check to see if a placement for this little girl has taken place or is in the making. Seeing her picture makes it all that much harder!!!!!!! Praying for the abrazo chicks to work their magic!!!

    I'm doing the same thing Dee. Gosh, that little face is not something that can forget. I'm praying for the perfect place for her and for her soon new family. God Bless both her Mother and Father for seeking assistance in building a better life for her. My heart races as I open the forum and wait to see for a new arrival post.
