Families from out-of-state adopting babies/children in Texas remain instate for 7-10 days while awaiting Interstate Compact approval. Enjoy these spots with the baby (& birthparents) in the meantime!
Abrazo Adoption: A weekly lunch spot for the AbrazoChicks, be sure to check out the daily lunch specials (and we highly recommend the margaritas, too.)
Abrazo Adoption: Taking the entire birthfamily out to celebrate? This is a great spot to entertain all ages! The food is nothing remarkable, but it is plentiful, and everybody can have plenty of fun here.
Abrazo Adoption: If it's rainy, this is the perfect place to wile away the hours, learning about the great state of Texas. (Be sure to take a family photo in front of the big neon Texas flag, for your baby book!)
Abrazo Adoption: Before placement, be sure to enjoy the very best Riverwalk restaurant, where city poobahs entertain VIPs who come to our fair city. Don't miss the black & white soup, and guacamole made tableside!
Abrazo Adoption: Looking for a place to worship while you're in San Antonio? Oak Hills Church is the home of renowned author and evangelist Max Lucado. (We highly recommend a good sermon for everyone who's adopting!)
Abrazo Adoption: Craving a great pizza or comforting Italian home recipes? Head to downtown Alamo Heights. Just tell Anna & Margherita that Elizabeth from Abrazo sent you... They'll fill your stomach and your soul!
Abrazo Adoption: Our adoption hearings take place at the (old) courthouse downtown. Here's the address! Meet your attorney at the assigned location and don't forget your camera.
Abrazo Adoption: The current home of Abrazo's Parents of Tomorrow orientation weekends! Be sure to ask for the Abrazo discount if you're attending orientation, and use the money you save to get your nursery ready.
Abrazo Adoption: A historic church in downtown San Antonio. If you're of the Catholic persuasion, be sure to enjoy one of their famous mariachi masses!
Abrazo Adoption: If you want to feel like you're in Mexico, go to El Mercado to shop and eat at Mi Tierra (and drink!) There's always a party going on, and it's a great place for photo ops for your profile.
Abrazo Adoption: The apex of all local grocery stores! Specialty foods, great bakery, kitschy gifts, decent wine selection, awesome deli (and maybe even diapers and formula hidden somewhere amongst its many aisles!?)
Abrazo Adoption: Obviously, social workers don't get out much, but if you're looking for a little getaway to enjoy some botana or have a grownup drink on an outdoor patio, we think Stone Werks is the perfect spot.
Abrazo Adoption: The adoption experience is not for the weak-of-heart, that's for sure. Need a good steak to restore your energy? We suggest the Barn Door. Non-touristy location, great food, down-home atmosphere.
