Stork Central 1,114 Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 CHILDLESS COUPLES NEEDED! (Particularly Texans!) It's a nice problem to have, but a problem nonetheless... Abrazo has gotten a number of calls lately from expectant parents wanting the baby they place to be a family's first! and a particular number of them are hoping to find childless couples across Texas, but as of today, Abrazo has only 3 homestudy-ready childless couples still waiting to match/place, and nice as they are, that's far too few to meet the varying needs and preferences of our prospective birthparent callers. If you know of a great couple who would be an awesome choice for an open adoption, please send them our way! Our next scheduled orientation is in February 2013, but send 'em now and who knows? You could be the reason lives change for the better in 2013! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Monica281 457 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I will pass the word to a few of my friends who are thinking about starting an adoption journey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan&Becky 17 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I will let Tommy and Heather know, maybe they will be ready by February to start the adoption process? I am going to see Tommy's mom on Saturday, not sure if Tommy and Heather will be at my dads wedding or not. Becky Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElizabethAnn 690 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 NEEDED: Emotionally-stable, financially-secure, medically-infertile childless couples for our February orientation! Abrazo is blessed to have plenty of againers at present, but we need some newbies (especially Texans) to fulfill the expectations of prospective birthparents looking to place and hoping for their child to be an adoptive family's "firstborn." Contact Brianna for more information, or submit an Adoptive Parent Inquiry form (available on Abrazo's website) today! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bandtmccrory 10 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Thank you! We really hope to hear something soon. It feels great to be moving forward. Yes, this is our first time adopting and we are so excited!!! I look at the forum a lot. Once I figured out how to navigate through it, it's a piece of cake with a ton of info. Hopefully we will hear something soon and can start making plans...we will be coming from Denver. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElizabethAnn 690 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Bandtmccrory, welcome! We're glad you're excited! Your application just arrived in yesterday's mail, so give us a little time to review it, and Brianna will surely be in touch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stork Central 1,114 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 We hate to sound like a broken record, but WE NEED CHILDLESS COUPLES, ESPECIALLY THOSE FROM TEXAS! The majority of expectant parents contacting Abrazo these days are seeking to make a family of a childless couple, and most are hoping to find a couple from Texas, to ensure that they can see the child/ren they place throughout the years, across the years. Our next orientation weekend is in July, so if you know some childless Texans (or childless couples from out of state who are racially-open and have the means to return to Texas for post-adoption visits), send 'em our way, please! Thank you kindly! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KatieTenn 21 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 We just mailed in our application today! We sent in our Inquiry almost a year ago and are finally getting ourselves together! We don't have any children yet, and while we don't live in TX, I have lots of family there so we visit fairly often. Texas has been an important part of my childhood, so it has a special place in my heart. Hopefully our application is approved and we can attend the next Orientation. The post office said it should arrive Thursday. Thanks! Katie and Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
karen&scott 247 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hi Katie and Matt. I can feel the excitement about your decision to apply. I hope it all works out, that Abrazo is a good fit for your family. In the meantime, feel free to read and post on the forum and gain as much information as possible. Adoption journeys usually have many peaks and valleys, hang in there! It will all be worth it. Karen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KatieTenn 21 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. We have already had a failed match independently, so we are a little fragile, but still excited to move forward. Of course we were ultimately supportive of her decision, but it was still hard. It feels right to be applying to a Texas agency though, and we hope that it works out. We appreciate all of the support. Katie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
