Stork Central 1,114 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Sometimes, families reach out to Abrazo looking to make dreams come true, and sometimes, Abrazo reaches out to families to make dreams come true... all for the love of a child. When his mom was just a pregnant teen, her family urged her to place the baby for adoption, convinced that she couldn't handle the responsibilities of parenthood. She was determined to prove them wrong, and for the next year and a half, she did everything she could to prove she was, too, a good mom. It wasn't easy but she gave it her all. She loved her little boy as best she could, even without her family's support. But in time, she came to realize that being a good mom also meant recognizing that her baby needed more than just her, no matter hard she tried to be his everything. And in time, she came to believe that what her little boy needed, more than anything, was a stable two-parent home with experienced parents, who had a proven marriage and financial security and the maturity to face all the challenges of life without the constant struggle of being without a safe home or a steady job. It was the hardest decision she ever had to make, and it took all the faith she had, but she finally made the call to Abrazo. Initially, she thought a childless couple could offer her son the most attention. Eventually, though, she decided placing him with a Texas family would give her more peace of mind, and not having any other waiting families instate, Abrazo called on a couple we'd placed with three years ago, who were excellent parents and had gone the extra mile to honor their open adoption commitments. They said "yes"... she said "yes"... and today, a precious 19-month-old became the beloved son of both families (and the little brother of one not-much-bigger big sister!) We wish them all every success as they build this new extended family relationship, and we thank each of them for allowing us to be a part of this special day in the lives of all. Blessings, y'all!
