  1. WOW.............Three new Abrazo bundles of pink, how wonderful !!!!!

    Congratulations to all of the new forever families and enjoy all of the blessings that have been given.

    How great that these pictures include the birthmoms as well, thats a true testament to the beauty of open adoption and I hope that they all stay in touch forever and never forget how they are all so important in the life of these little girls.

  2. I have been lurking on this thread and saying prayers that this little boy finds his forever family who are as overjoyed to welcome him as he will be to them. I didnt realize that the "Abrazo ladies" get buoyed by our posts and I know they could use all the help they can get to help this little angel and how heart-breaking some situations can be at times.

    WE KNOW YOU LADIES CAN DO THIS AND WE ARE ALL CHEERING YOU ON AND WISHING THE BEST FOR THIS LITTLE BOY, HIS BIRTHFAMILY AND HIS NEW FOREVER FAMILY. WE ARE WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

  3. Congratulations to the New Families created and the three little babies who have found their forever families, what miracles and what a way to end the year and start a new journey.

    Enjoy and have a wonderful holiday season and an amazing New Year with you sweet little babies, does it get any better than this?

  4. CONGRATS TO ALL THE NEW FAMILIES.............what a perfect day to give Thanks for. I suspect that none of you will be asking for Santa to bring you a thing this year as you now have everything that you need :rolleyes: .

    PS. I havent met any of the other couples yet, but I was so excited to read that Todd & Eileen placed as I got the pleasure of meeting them at Camp this year. They were so cute and so hopeful and I am so overjoyed that they are now parents no-longer waiting. YAY!!!

  5. Sounds like sandy and scott could set up an NY office for Abrazo ;) in their new home...right? ;);) #two...next summer........why wait I say..... :lol:

    Easy there Heidi.....next summer will be here before you know it. A NY office, sure no problem, as long as you don't mind your employee in pj's every day :P:lol:, that is the attire I currently go to work in, no panthose here.

  6. Thank you, all!

    New York is the only state in the nation that I know of which requires adoption agencies which place there to have physical office addresses within the state. If and when they lift that requirement, we'll gladly send Abrazotots to the Big Apple, as well.

    Yes, we are painfully aware of this no-adoptions in NY dilemma as we are postponing our move to NY (only a mile away <_< ) until after baby #2 joins our family, hopefully next summer ;):rolleyes:

  7. I too have been following quietly along as I pray for these little sweeties to find their forever family. I also thought about "what if" and Scott and I talked about it. With one daughter about the same age and bringing two siblings one the same age and another older into the mix didnt seem like the best situation for Skye. We were afraid that she would feel left out of the sibling group/bond and were worried for her and we wanted to make sure that it was also the best situation for these two babies and they get the "right" home for them so they never have to be moved again.

    I also agree with many others who say that if we were childless PIW we would be in Texas right now. We were so adament about a newborn so we could experience the whole newborn thing. In hindsight, that was all a blur and now that Skye is 17 months our times and memories are the best!!! So we might have missed the first smile, roll-over, crawl, etc., but I just think that that is just the beginning and like marriage, until death us do part. I think this is a wonderful opportunity for a PIW, however, it is so hard to look past "brand new" and I was also a culprit of that.

    I cannot wait to see the picture and story of this "new" family and I hope soon, as you can see we are all very impatient!!!! :rolleyes::P:lol:

  8. WOW!!! I cannot keep up with all of the wonderful placements and forever families being created. Congrats to all of the new families; Brett & Traci, Ricky & Laurie, Keith, Erika & Briton and to the Walker Family (Yeah Nita, I am so happy for you guys!!!! What a divine set of circumstances lead you to your son, I got chills). I am so happy for all of you and know that good times are ahead. What an amazing month this has been and so exciting.

  9. WOW.......I am busy for a week or so and 3 new families bring home their little miracles. Congratulations and enjoy every moment together, it goes by so quick. I can remember "days :blink: ...ok, months ago " that we brought our pink bundle home. Our bundle just turned 16 months :o:rolleyes: , where does the time go. I always say this, but make sure you take lots of pictures and journal all thats happening. What is said and done by you, birthparents and friends and family is so special and trust me in your shocked, sleep deprived minds you will forget. I go back and read stuff from when we were first placed and am overwhelmed with emotion and so greatful I have documented it.

    Enjoy your new children and lives, there is truly nothing better or more fulfilling in life than the time we spend with them.

  10. OK,

    I usually dont pay any mind to "celebrities" and Hollywood because I thik that the entire idea of someone being "famous" for playing a role is ridiculous. Ghandi, Mother Theresa, Everyday wonerful people sacrificing for others, they should get the "star" treatment. ..................Anywho, if it wouldn't be too horrific for any baby to be placed with Paris Hilton (utter waste of space :angry: :angry: :angry: ), she should adopt because the thought of her procreating and there being anyone else in this world even bearing a resemblence to her is enough to make me sick.

    Ok, you get the idea and yes she is my least favorite tabloid person out there.

  11. CONGRATS ON BEAUTIFUL LITTLE ELLA, GIRLS ARE INDEED WONDERFUL!!!!

    Also love the name, our good friends daughter is Ella Rose and she is awesome. Make sure you journal and photograph/video the entire experience because it flies by at warp speed. A day ago we were in Texas for placement and a day later (or so it feels) or pink bundle is turning 15 months.

    Enjoy her and being parents,

  12. Hi,

    Just my own 2 cents;

    We have a picture of Skye's birthmom and birthsister by her crib. We tell everyone that she is adopted and we're proud of it. We try to keep an open line of communication open with her birthmom, but she is not as motivated as we are. There might come a day where she stops communicating with us altogether, but I would still consider this an open adoption. Open in the fact that Skye and everyone else is aware of the situation. Open in the fact that her birthfamily will ALWAYS be acknowledged, loved, missed and welcomed in our home and hearts. I feel that as long as all of the facts are "open" and not hidden keeps this an open adoption and does not "close" it.

    Just my 2 cents.

  13. WOW, its such a slow week at Abrazo, only 4 children placed :P:lol:

    Congratulations to all of the new parents, children & birthfamilies. Hoping for a smooth trnasition for all involved. What a wonderful journey you are all embarking on. Take lots of pictures and start a journal because it will all seem like a blur and time will fly. I get so much pleasure now whenever I revisit my well-documented journey and the memories come back so vividly. I remember little tidbits that I would have been sad to forget.

    ENJOY!!!

    Sandi

  14. CONGRATULATIONS to the new parents of little pink bundles..............Girls are wonderful and they do have the cutest little clothes. Enjoy your new daughters and take a moment every day to think about what a blessing you have.

    Enjoy,

    Sandi
