Welcome to the world little one! Praying for blessings for you and your families!

Welcome Erin and James! And congrats on your first post! I don't think Abrazo has a prioritized list of families. They don't operate like some agencies based on how long you've been 'waiting', how much you pay, if you are childless or not. Abrazo stirves to nuture a relationship between expectant families and adoptive families that 'belong' together. That's what's great about expectanting familes being able to choose a family that fits with them. I think most people will tell you that childless couples statistically place quicker based on the what expectant familes are looking for, but many, many children are placed in loving homes with siblings there to welcome them home! Best wishes to you guys! Glad to have you here!

Oh my! Huge congratulations to you all! How wonderful to see that what is meant to be, will be! Loving the first family photo! Welcome to the world Elijah! You are loved by many!

Huge congrats to the new improved family! Pink is in the air!

But fortunate for those who do get to go to orientation, because it is an event of a lifetime and you will meet friends for life that will go through the same journey with you! Hooray! And the orientation you go to will be the perfect one for you guys; somehow it just works out that way. All the groups are great but I can't imagine being anything other that a 'Ten' and talk about perfect timing.....Clara was born three weeks after orientation!---Another great reason to be homestudy ready when you do go I'm excited for you that you are getting that ball rolling!

Sounds like DFW has a new resident! Hooray! Or is she a San Antonio gal? Either way.....Congratulations! Sure am looking forward to the photo!

New Mexico is beautiful..... Welcome Melissa and Danny! So glad you introduced yourselves and thank you so much for sharing your story! You guys have been through alot in your journey to parenthood; I wish you all the best and hope you'll share as your story continues to unfold! It's great to have you here!

Welcome Josie Maye! Sending up prayers for peace and comfort as well as thanks for answered prayers!
