LovingBoo 0 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 CONGRATULATIONS NATALIE, KEITH AND COOPER!!!Welcome Christopher!!! I really can't tell you how thrilled and happy we are for you guys and I definitely think this match was one heaven sent and meant to be. Can't wait to see more pics and hear all about it!!! We'll be thinking of you guys and keeping your sweet birth mommy in our prayers!!! Love, JennyThere's something to be said for "going the extra mile" and one of our newest success stories did so three times, in just one week! The first time was when they voluntarily opted to attend our Late Night Stickybacks orientation weekend of 5/08; the second, when they rushed home to complete a homestudy update, upon learning of a newly-born boy in need of a loving home; and the third, when they returned to San Antonio today to complete placement and make him officially their own! We wish the very best to this precious babe, his proud new big brother, his delighted new mommy and daddy, and his adoring birthmama; may this be only the beginning of the joys they are sure to share as the extended family that they are!

Stork Central 1,114 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 "...The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it." (Matthew 13:45) The one pearl of great price, instead of being found by accident, as in the former case, is found by one whose business it is to seek for such, and who finds it just in the way of searching for such treasures. But in both cases the surpassing value of the treasure is alike recognized, and in both all is parted with for it. --Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary It's often said that everything happens for a reason, but conversely, this means that nothing happens by coincidence, and likewise, it wasn't by chance that the latest family to return to Texas for placement came here when they did. Graduates of our InDecision '07 orientation weekend, they came to Abrazo in November, 2007, having encountered a rocky road elsewhere along the way to their dreams of adopting a second time. Over the next six months, they had some "possibilities" arise, and even a close call, but it just wasn't yet to be, for them... not just then. They could've lost faith, and maybe they did, now and then, momentarily. But they faithfully continued their quest to find the child they felt was meant to complete their family, and in the end, she found them, because they had made it their business to be ready to be found. So today, with the blessing of a loving and courageous birthmom who wanted so much more for her, one precious pearl of a baby girl has joined the hearts and home of her very thankful new family, and we wish God's blessing on all who recognize her value and will treasure her always!
