Yeah Brian and Cathy!!! I am sooooooooooo happy for your new family. I am going to PM you because I know your birthmom. My husband, Greg, has an aunt that lives in Paris that knows J. J wasn't sure what she was going to do about her baby and Greg's aunt told her about us and they called us and I spoke with J about Abrazo. Can't wait to talk you guys. Jan

Loriahn, I am so glad he is doing well. And lets hope he is the only one to receive a purple heart from your squadron. Jan Loriahn, I am so glad he is doing well. And lets hope he is the only one to receive a purple heart from your squadron. Jan

Congrats to the newest family!!! Jan

Laurel, Zachary's room sounds cute, kinda like Jackson's room. We did his up in western too. It is alot of fun and there is alot of things out there you can use. We have my mom's cowboy boots on his dresser with my husbands western belt (the kind with the last name on it) draped over the boots. Oh don't forget a picture of "the duke" Jan

YEAH John and Nina!!!!!!!!! I am so happy you are a family of four. I love her name too. Now let the games begin with having a little girl. Ha Ha Jan

Hi Laural, First of all how exciting 8 more weeks. I am so happy for you guys. I know you want to be there for the birth but do you know when that baby is coming? Annie was 3 weeks early and when Debra called and told us she was in labor Annie came about 2 hours later. We were about 12 hours away by car. So we drove all night and got to see her when she was 12 hours old. It was wonderful. So if your not sure when that baby is coming, because you never know when they want to come into the world 5 or 6 hours won't be so bad. I hope this helps. Jan

Welcome Joe and Melanie, I am so glad you are going forward with you adoption process with Abrazo. We have two Abrazobabes. All of us on the forum are one big happy family and we will be with you guys everystep of the way. Good Luck Jan

YEAH!!!!! Another baby boy!!! I am so happy for the new family. Congrats and enjoy all the fun he has to offer. Jan

Thanks, I will pass the info on. Jan

Elizabeth, Does the couple have to be childless? Jan

Well, I got the yellow pages out and called every adoption agency in it. Everyone sent us their information and Greg and I narrowed it down to three. We applied to all three with the first set of paperwork and all three accepted us at that point. Then we had to decide on one. We picked Abrazo becasue their wait time was the shortest and the cost was in the middle of all three. But most of all was the conversations I had on the phone with the people at Abrazo. I wish I could remember who I spoke it. I just got a "good" feeling with Abrazo. They seemed to care so much. I had a lot of questions and they answered them so well. So we choose Abrazo and the rest is history!!! Two kids later we couldn't be happier. Jan

YEAH the first baby of the New Year. Congrats to the new family of four!!! He looks so cute looking at his daddy. Jan

I too am catching up on things. Way to go Tina. You know all of your fourm friends were beside you in that room. We all have to explain to people about open adoption. Some people get it and some just never do. I just told some new friends recently that Jackson and Annie are adopted. And when I told them that Annie's birthparents have been to our house, well I think that kind of freaked them out. Anyone else have their children's birthparents over to your house. We all had alot of fun. Melissa, I loved your letter too. Maybe you can direct them to Abrazo for their adoption? Betsy, on your commet "Oh, so you are still doing that". We had someone ask, "Do you have to still see those people?" Talk about beating your head against the wall. I just tell people you have to do what is best for you child. We love our children's birthparents. We get along so well and really enjoy each others company. Jan

I have been thinking and praying for this little guy. Since the last two "hopefuls" did not work out that just means there is an amazing family out there that is finding their way to him. Lets just hope they get here real soon! Jan

What a wonderful Christmas story for this new family!!! Jan

Congrats to the newest family. Double the blessing and love. Jan

Hoping and praying this little boy finds a new home very soon. Jan

Oh, what wonderful news for these three new families!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for all of you. What an awsome Thanksgiving you had and will always have. Jan

Wow, another baby ready to go home to a new family how exciting. I will keep this new angel in my prayers and I know she will have her new family before dessert is served next Thursday. Jan
