I called and asked approximately how long a family might wait. The woman who answered said, "We only work with families who want a completely Open adoption. My husband and I prefer semi-open and that is our preference. She went on to say, well, you can't be semi-honest or semi-pregnant! What nerve? Who is she to judge us? All I did was ask one question and got this arrogant response from this person I feel I should not be dealing with families if this is how a family is treated. I would not consider them EVER!!! I am sure glad I never got to the point to send them any money and learned how obnoxious they are ... right from the start!! This worker actually did our family a favor. I would stay away from this agency because apparently they do NOT respect the families' wishes at all.
Can you be semi-honest or semi-pregnant?
Abrazo is not the agency for you if you are unwilling to fully embrace the family your future child will come from. Not every agency is for everyone, but I thank God every day that the woman at Abrazo helped us to educate us on the importance of openess in adoption. Because of this openess our family expanded by not only two beautiful children but by the very families that loved these children first before we even knew of them.
I consider both my children's first family my family as well.
