Stork Central Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 She'd known, she said, that she wasn't ready for another child, although this very special mother is--by all accounts-- a wonderful and devoted parent to the two children she and her husband are already raising. But she dearly loved the baby she was carrying, and couldn't conceive of life without some continuing connection between them. So when she called Abrazo, with her mind made up just weeks before her due date, we knew she needed a very special family, one who would understand how hard this would be for her, and who could be there for her, in every way-- before and during and after. She looked over profiles, but needed more choices, and in the end, she chose a KY family who are already devoted members of Abrazo's Forum. They were to have been "againers" in Abrazo's 8/10 orientation, but already having planned to attend Camp Abrazo this year, they were more than willing to add an unforgettable excursion to north Texas to their pre-Camp schedule, becoming "tweeners" instead. And what an unforgettable side trip it was! This week, they fell in love with this dear mama, her family, and the precious son they now share, born just two days ago... and built the foundations of a lifetime kinship, all in a matter of days. As we head into our annual national family reunion this coming week, we celebrate tonight's very special placement and especially the people involved; the two caring couples, the proud new "big" siblings of each family, and the newborn boy so loved by all! Big hugs to each of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven&Melissa Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 We can't wait to meet your new addition, Hannah. We have been praying for M and her family, knowing what a difficult time this is... but I know this is difficult for you, too. When you come to love someone so much over such a short period of time, it's hard to let your grief subside for a moment to soak in the joy. Balance those two things as much as you can and rejoice for this new baby boy who will grow up to call you mama. It's so amazing that you've now entered into the open adoption relationship you'd always dreamed of... it is work, but the payoff is amazing. You and Rudy are going to be wonderful parents to this little guy, but equally amazing friends (and family!) to M and her family. They made such a wise choice when they found you and I know their trust is not on vain. So very, very happy for you all today. I know the overwhelming grief that M feels will be eased a little because of the confidence she has in the parents she chose. Your family just grew so much more than you could have ever expected!!!
