Adequate words escape us. You all are truly on the mark. Ethan is beyond imagination and his birth family is extraordinary. In all truthfullness, WE feel like WE have been adopted by them.
We are humbled and truly touched by all your kind words and well-wishes. We accept the responsibility of raising Ethan to be a loving, giving man of integrity.
Thank you.....
Tony and Donna

Hello Orientees:
We are in Tony and Donna. We are part of the Connecting the Tots group and are in San Antonio now for the placement of our son Ethan. Best of luck this coming weekend. You will leave with a greater sense of what this journey will be like and a renewed confidence in taking charge of your own fertility...
Maybe we will run in to you all....
Tony

Matthew & Betsy,
We are so thrilled for you! Enjoy your new bundle of joy!

Congratulations! I am sorry that we won't be able to meet you guys this coming weekend, but what better reason than picking up your new little girl. She is beautiful!
-
Can't wait to see your new pictures!

Congratulations on your new bundle of joy!

So you used Identix and they were able to get your husband's results back quickly? When I called Identix they were confused which made me more confused. We go to Memphis several times a year (we will be there again in March) and thought we might go to Identix while we are there so expedite the process. I am putting our fingerprints in the mail today though just so we can get that started in case the other doesn't work.
-
If we send it through the FBI it will take 6-8 weeks to get the results back. I know in Tennessee they have an agency called Identix that gets the results back within 48 hours. Does anyone know of something like this in the North?
-
Sandi,
How quickly did you get the results back?
-
Thanks for the information!
-
Thanks Sherrie!
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. We went to the Orientation a few weeks ago so we have been busy trying to get everything together. Abrazo should have received our first packet of information and 1/2 of the fee today...so we are official! My husband and I have been married for 10 years so we have that taken care of.

I have a question about finger prints. No where do I see in the Abrazo paperwork (although there is alot so I may have overlooked it), our home study paperwork or the Texas home study requirements that there is a requirement for finger prints. Our social worker said that is typically done with International adoptions. Can anyone shed some light on that? I have everything else in the works but don't want that to hold us up.
Thanks!

These are all GREAT!!! A lot of what me and my husband heard all the time. We are the ones that actually thought about coming up with a t-shirt so that people will stop saying things they have no clue about!
1) Stop tyring so hard!
2) Stop thinking about it (okay...how are you supposed to stop thinking about it)
3) Just relax
4) In God's time
5) Try this position
6) Prop up on a pillow afterwards
7) As soon as you adopt you will get pregnant...it happended to so and so
and on, and on
-
Thanks for the information. I am excited by how responsive everyone is with questions.
-
What does Abrazo consider 'Infertile'? I have had several artificial inseminations with one pregnancy but it was etopic. The following inseminations did not work. At that point, I decided not to put my heart and body through the torture anymore. Would I qualify?
-
Thanks so much for your response! That really puts my mind at ease that we won't have to wait until we build or find a home.
-
My husband and I are just starting the adoption process. Actually we are still in the process of trying to find someone to do our home study.
We just relocated because of my husband's job to Pittsburgh, PA and have not found a home yet. Should we wait until we find a house before starting the home study process? Or should that not be a primary concern right now?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
