Stork Central Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 (At LONG last, we've got no good reason to proLONG the agony of all our buddies out there any LONGer...!) Some say that the nicest surprizes in life come when we least expect them. It seems ironic, considering how much time and effort folks put into planning to adopt, but it surely was true for our newest set of parents. They'd already booked their summer vacation-- their first-ever cruise ship experience-- for next week... and now, they have the best-ever, 7 lb., 10 oz. reason to forfeit both the trip and what they paid for it! because as of today, after just eight short months of waiting, the long-awaited miracle has happened, and another of our 10-4, Good Buddies (9/05) have a newborn baby boy to bring with them to Camp Abrazo next year. (After all, what Texas-born little boy wouldn't prefer a dude ranch to some big 'ole boat?!) So here's sending heartfelt good wishes out to our newest Abrazobabe, his proud new mom and dad and grandparents (and great-grandma!), his loving birthmama, birthdad, birthsibs and birthgrandma. May life be smooth-sailing for all of you, from this day forward, and may this be only the beginning of a LONG and beautiful friendship between your families!
