Abrazo is the agency pregnant Texans and birthparents trust more, and here’s why: we put you first.
We don’t uproot pregnant women or require placing parents to move to another state just to use our services. We’re not pushy, either. You can meet with us whenever you feel ready, or we’ll come to you, if you wish. If you’re already in the hospital, no worries; we can be there as soon as you want us there. At Abrazo, this really is all about us being there for you (and your child. Before and after placement.)

- Abrazo can help you make a safe, confidential adoption plan any time before or after birth.
- Every prospective birthmom at Abrazo gets the free services of her very own private caseworker.
- Abrazo offers your choice of the best of already-approved adopting families.

Throughout history, responsible parents have turned to adoption when they wanted their child/ren to have more security and stability in life than they could offer, due to their lifestyle or age or economic circumstances. Baby Moses‘ first mom entrusted her infant son to a princess and adoption saved his life. Calamity Jane got pregnant by Wild Bill Hickok, history tells us, and adoption provided him the stable home life her lifestyle could not afford him. The world’s greatest thinker, Albert Einstein, and the woman he later married placed their firstborn daughter for adoption, shortly after he completed college. Singers Joni Mitchell and David Crosby are birthparents of children placed for adoption. Actress Kate Mulgrew became pregnant while working on the soap opera “Ryan’s Hope” and her pregnancy was written into the show until she left to give birth and place the baby for adoption. Comedienne Roseanne Barr had an unplanned pregnancy in her teen years, and adoption planning gave her child a more stable set of parents with whom to grow up. Rock star Ted Nugent has had both a son and a daughter who were each placed for adoption, and in 2011, soap star Jack Wagner reunited with his daughter, placed for adoption as a baby. Late computer guru Steve Jobs‘ birthparents married after his placement, and raised their next child (author Mona Simpson) together.
If you’re considering adoption for your baby or child, you’re in good company. (And you’ve come to the right place.)
