Steven&Melissa Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hi! We mailed our inquiry pre-app just yesterday! I am loving the forums...answers to so many questions...and questions I didn't even know I had if that makes any sense! ) Looking forward to finding out more. Good Luck to everyone! Hi, Allie & Ross! So glad you're on the forum! There's so much to learn and I can completely understand about having questions answered that you didn't even know you had yet! I found myself thinking about issues I didn't even know existed when I first got on the forum a few months ago and it's been a tremendous help to us as we spend this pre-baby time educating ourselves and thinking about different scenarios. Can't wait to follow your journey, so keep updates coming and let us know if you have questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeslieR Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hi Allison and Ross. I am so excited to see you on here. I hope you got my message via Facebook regarding our adoption experiences with Abrazo. Call me anytime for more information. To let everyone know...I went to high school with Allison and was so excited to find out she was interested in adopting through Abrazo. Welcome to the family!

mbell Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hi Amy, We are in Northwest Louisiana, Shreveport to be exact. Yes, we are hoping to attend an orientation this summer at some point. Hi Allie, Welcome. We lived in Shreveport when we worked with Abrazo on the placement of our daughter, but we've since relocated back to the midwest. Glad you're finding this forum so informative -- feel free to jump in on any thread and add your comments/questions/perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're moving right alooooong . Hope to meet you soon at an Orientation. Maybe end of June, beginning of July? Hi Everyone! We will be attending the June 24th Orientation and can't wait! We have always wanted to be a part of this wonderful process and are so excited to finally be 'here'. We had looked at many options but for some reason none of them seemed like the right path for us. The more we read and the more we investigated the more confused we became. Then I talked to an ABRAZO mother and everything became so clear, something just felt so right. We are very happy to have finally found ABRAZO and are looking forward to meeting everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erin Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Welcome, LittleBigs! We're waiting on orientation too! I'm a little confused because Angela told me there wasn't going to be an orientation in June, that it was going to be pushed back to July.

Amy&Craig Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Welcome LittleBigs! Glad you found Abrazo and an agency that seems to fit. That's been our experience so far too. We also will be attending the next orientation - woohoo. From my understanding the date has been moved to July and they are trying to finalize which weekend. Obviously not the last one because that is Camp Abrazo and I'm assuming not the 4th - although I think PO weekend and 4th of July in SA sounds fun. Look forward to meeting you, Amy and Craig Welcome, LittleBigs! We're waiting on orientation too! I'm a little confused because Angela told me there wasn't going to be an orientation in June, that it was going to be pushed back to July. Erin - we must have responded at the same time! So you guys are in for July too? Fun, fun, fun. Is this your first Abrazo PO weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Amy! Yes, we’re just crossing our fingers that it’s not the weekend of July 10-11, because that’s when Azucena’s foster mom is coming to visit... and that’s not something we can postpone, because she’s headed back to Guatemala the following week. We’re really looking forward to her visit. This will be our first orientation too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suziandben Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 We are at the 2.5 weeks since mailing application......I jump everytime the phone rings! My abrazo babe is almost two years old and I STILL jump everytime I get a "restricted" phone call. I got a call like that Saturday and had to smile really big when my heart skipped a beat. (This time it was someone calling me about a craigslist posting.) Holding my breath with you Jim & Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This time it was someone calling me about a craigslist posting.) Holding my breath with you Jim & Laura Suzi, That makes me laugh to hear you say that. My heart too still keeps a beat when I see "private caller" on my cell phone or home phone. I do not get them very often. But I always think "could that be Abrazo" takes me back to the time when you never went anywhere without your cell phone. Welcome Jim & Laura!!!
