Hi Amanda - I hope you are doing really well and life is good Chip and I loved meeting you @ orientation and were very moved by your life story. It helped both of us get a better understanding of the gifts of open adoption. And it was really courageous of you to open up like that! Here's to many blessings being brought your way Hope to see you again soon @ future Camp Abrazos!! Laura

Sounds like Mike was truly an inspirational man who was incredibly gracious and kind!! I am certain his spirit lives among those whose lives he touched --- another guardian angel for us all Sending prayers to all his loved ones Laura

To All Future Orientation Go-ers: Chip (my hubby) and I just returned from the January orientation, and we are so grateful to have had the experience. The birthmoms who spoke were incredibly courageous, tender and honest. I was humbled and awed by the love they have for their children. The connections we made with the birthmoms and the women of Abrazo were spiritual, and we left with such hope. The fears about "open" adoption were squelched. And we had such fun, too!! Our suggestion - go with open ears to hear the message and open hearts to embrace the people! You'll leave behind and take with you many gifts! Laura Taylor
