Stork Central Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 "The compatibility of a person’s temperament with their surrounding environment is referred to as “goodness of fit.” Some temperaments and environments seem to naturally fit together while others do not. One of the key components to helping children feel good about themselves and be successful throughout life is by creating environments that accommodate their temperaments. There are two types of “Goodness of Fit:” how that trait interacts with the environment and how it interacts with the people in that environment. Any trait in and of itself is not a problem; rather, it is the interaction that determines the ‘acceptability’ of that trait. The behavioral fit describes how well the behavior fits with the environment. When there is a match between the demands and expectations of the environment and the child’s temperament and abilities, that is a good fit." -- The Center for Parenting Education Once upon a time, there was a dear couple who dreamed of becoming parents. They'd been married many years, so they were more than ready to build a family, but due to infertility, they needed just a little help to fill their home with the sound of children's laughter. They attended Abrazo's Chavon Is the New Black orientation of August, 2015. They heard that weekend that some placements can take many months to come together, while others happen sooner, but they couldn't possibly have dreamed that they'd be coming back to Texas within weeks to change their lives in the very nicest of ways. Yet being the nicest of people, they were ready to open their home and their hearts to the sort of children who needed a loving family most. And tonight, they became the proud parents of a brother and sister, and treasured friends of their children's birthfamily. We wish them every joy in their lives together, and we thank God for sending a family who could fit just right-- and for whom these sweet children can hope to be just the right fit, as well. Blessings, all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stork Central Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Sometimes, you just can't overestimate the importance of good timing.It was all about the timing when the mother of one of our adopting dads happened to call Abrazo for information on our program for her son, right before our last orientation weekend.It was all about the timing when her son and his wife made a quick decision to complete their paperwork to attend the Chavon is the New Black orientation of August, 2015.It was all about the timing when a returning birthmother who could not find a suitable childless Texas couple as she'd hoped agreed to consider other childless couples from out-of-state, instead.It came down to timing, too, when that mother welcomed her chosen couple to the hospital with her, but then gave them the time with her baby that she needed with him to be sure of her decision. Not all lifetime decisions can be made in the 40 weeks of pregnancy nor the swift 48 hours that follow for mothers considering adoption, after all.So she took the time she needed to carefully reconsider all her options, and to love on her newborn son, and today, when the timing felt right, she called Abrazo to complete her adoption as originally planned.We hope the sweet baby boy being placed tonight always knows how very loved he is-- and how much time went into making sure this decision was truly right-- all the way around! Blessings, all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
