Stork Central Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Truly, life is but a serenade... Our newest pair of parents know this better than most. From the opening movement, their nine years of marriage have been remarkably harmonic, filled with intricate chording and amazing runs. Their infertility diagnosis may have struck a minor key, but they undoubtedly kept a tempo regardless, being the talented and positive people that they are. Their orientation weekend with the good folks of Gertrude & the Shark Tank (August, 2011) wove a bright new allegro into their lives, as they began to truly believe that parenthood was within their grasp. This renowned pianist and violinist faithfully worked their respective concerts and recitals around the many unknowns of the adoption process. They bravely weathered a painful "dress rehearsal" along the way, and patiently endured largo interludes in which it may have seemed as though nothing was happening, at times. Yet the Great Conductor had a wonderful coda written into their score, and today, with a sudden and shimmering glissando, their childless days came to an momentous end, as a newly-delivered mother in a local hospital decided to forever entrust her firstborn child to them and in doing so, filled her daughter's life with endless love and magnificent music. It is a most fitting finale to a unforgettable performance by a couple who have proven themselves most worthy of this miracle, and we offer a heartfelt standing ovation to these happy new parents, their precious daughter and her remarkable first family. Bravo! Blessings, all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stork Central Posted July 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Come next summer, there'll be a new, tiny set of footprints toddling across South Texas' beaches... belonging to a precious little guy who just came into the world two days ago. His new parents, the first of the BGE&S orientation group of 4/12 to place, are people of faith. They put that faith in action when they decided to put their trust in a young mom who'd planned an adoption with Abrazo a few years ago, yet just couldn't bring herself to place in the end. She's learned a lot since then, though, and when she found herself in a similar position once again, we were grateful that she put her faith in Abrazo once more. Today, she made a choice that will certainly enable her and the small daughter she's parenting to make a better go of it. It's undoubtedly an answer to the prayers of a couple who would otherwise not be parents today, were it not for her commitment to her child. And the adorable newborn son she shares for life with these Texas beachcombers will surely be the better for her courageous sacrifice on his behalf, as well. We wish him beautiful sea shells, great fishing, clean waters, cool breezes and a lifetime of love with all the parents who adore him so. Blessings, all!
