  8. Welcome LoveFaithHope! We were referred to Abrazo by our social worker here in Memphis. We knew we wanted openness in our adoption, but we were a bit aprehensive about open adoption at first. Working with Abrazo has taught us so much and now we feel that there really is no other healthy way to approach adoption than total openness. The team of ladies in the office are very dedicated and seem to view what they do as more of a calling or a lifestyle than as a job. There is a wealth of knoweledge there, as well. Each person in the office knows us all by name and knows our situations. They are a great support system. We have also come into a tremendous community of adoptive families through the forum, camp Abrazo, our own state reunions, and our monthly lunches here in Memphis. I love the fact that our daughter will have many adopted friends to grow up with. Good luck with your decision. I hope this helps. Eileen

  14. I love this topic! So important in this day and age. I am always reminded of the high school senior who was failing my class miserably (like 35%), whom later I saw speed by me in the parking lot driving a red, two seater BMW. And I thought, of course This story about alternative gifts was on the home page of MSN today: http://green.msn.com/Articles/article.aspx...7&GT1=10628 I have done class projects for Heifer in the past and last year our junior class spent the night at Heifer Ranch in Arkansas-- where they lived as they do in less developed nations-- no food, shelter, etc... They described it as the worst experience of thier lives and could not imagine living like that. Eileen

  16. And of course you have the best taste in baby girl clothing Majorie! Thank you everyone for your warm congratulations! We have been through a whirl wind of emotions in the past 24 hours. It started with broken hearts from a match that was so good falling through and ended with joyous hearts as we signed the papers for our daughter Cecilia Colleen. Our prayers go out to all those feeling loss tonight-- may God bring you peace and a happy ending!
