    Wow! I just feel floored about this whole situation! I hate that this little one will be foster care for a year (at the very least) when there were at least 2 wonderful, loving families who wanted to adopt him. I cannot see how this could possibly be in this precious little boy's best interest. And, I can't help but think about how awesome it would have been for him to have either Grace Ann or Louisa for a sister. Maybe God has something else planned for him....but from this perspective, it's just hard to understand. :huh:

    (And BTW, isn't it amazing how we can become so "attached" to these little children when we've only seen their picture and heard little bits and pieces of their stories?)

    Hello, Maureen, and welcome to the forum!

    We live in Ohio and adopted through Abrazo a little over a year ago! Let me just tell you that the Abrazogals were wonderful throughout our whole adoption journey and I, personally, can't imagine ever going through this process without them!!!

    I'm sure that there are many different homestudy agencies in Maryland that you can go with....just do your research and find one you're comfortable with. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that as long as the social worker has a masters degree and will do the homestudy to Texas' guidelines you can use anyone you're comfortable with. We found out about our homestudy social worker via "word of mouth"....one of the ladies that I work with was going through the adoption process and recommended her. She actually works at an adoption agency, but we just used her for the homestudy - not the adoption.

    Good luck and God bless!

    I'm sorry to report that there is not. (At least, not yet?)

    The birthparents of the Down Syndrome baby we mentioned back in June gave birth recently, and not having gotten a family in place in time, decided just to struggle along and care for him themselves.

    It's so very awkward, when firstparents finally get the courage to make an adoption choice, thinking there are all these great homes out there just waiting for children in need, and we have to tell them "well, yes, we have plenty of families waiting anxiously for children to love... but not your kind of kld."

    (Of course, we don't say it that way, but I'm afraid that all too often, they do know that's what we're telling them, in not so many words.) :(

    We remain hopeful that somewhere out there are two families just waiting to be found for two sweet boys just waiting to be placed. (And that these birthfamilies will keep the faith long enough for us to make it happen.)

    Oh, I hate to hear that! I wish, I wish, I wish!!!!

    Abrazo is seeking very special, multicultural and homestudy-ready adoptive parents for a beautiful set of two-month old twin girls of Irish/Hispanic/Cantonese/African-American descent.

    Qualified applicants must be U.S. citizens over the age of 25, legally married for more than a year, with documented infertility (unable to conceive) and a willingness to commit to continuing post-placement communication with the birthfamily.

    Abrazo is accepting letters of interest with completed homestudies between now and 9/20/04; information can be mailed to our office or faxed to 210/342-6547 during business hours. Gracias!

    Wishing these children a wonderful forever home.

    Really not making a joke here, but wow, that's quite a cultural background (Irish, Hispanic, Cantonese, African-American). Lots of cultural educational opportunities for these twins and their family :) What a wonderful opportunity for some PIW's

    Wishing them, their Birthparents, and their future Forever Family all the best,

    Adam

    I keep checking to see how these little boys are doing, too. I can't stop thinking about them and their birthfamilies.

    Me, too! I would love to be interested, but my husband says, "No Way! Our lives are crazy enough with one "tornado" in our house right now!". I won't tell you who he's referring to, but his inititials are JRD!!! :lol:

    (He might be a "tornado", but he sure is the cutest little tornado in the whole world and we love every single adorable, mischievous inch of him....even when he breaks three Precious Moments figurines in one week!!!! :blink: There's no doubt he'd be one fine gunslinger....he's got the fastest hands in the west and the east! :P )
