Greetings all. If your heart is ready to be filled, then APO is a great place for this to happen. It's been a while since we've been there - We filled our hearts and our home all the way back in 2003 with 2 wonderful boys (at 9 now, they are a handful). One step at a time; hearts and families filled each day is a great way to completion. and I think APP does it best!

APO has been a complete and total blessing to my family. Our first encounter with them was in 2009 when my sister and brother-in-law finalized the adoption of their little girl. Less than a year later, we were blessed with a surprise baby of our own. Our little one is the half-brother to my sister's daughter. He needed a home and God chose us (even though were weren't looking to adopt). APO made the transition happen quickly and easily. They were so amazing to walk with us every step of the way. They helped us get all of the paperwork and the legal parts completed so that we could finalize his adoption. They gave us tons of information about being adoptive parents and what open adoption looked like. But, most of all, they were there to answer our questions any time we called. They walked along side us, prayed with us, and loved us. It was an amazing journey. 9 months after our son's adoption was finalized, we were blessed with the opportunity to bring home another son (our fourth child). Once again, APO walked with us on the journey and in April of 2012 our second adoption was finalized. The biggest blessing APO gave us during the adoption of our second child has been the way they loved on his birth-family. APO counseled them in so many ways: they helped in strengthening the parent's relationship; they helped them learn to better parent their 3 children living at home; they assisted them in obtaining jobs; they encouraged them to further their education and they helped them walk through the grief and loss they felt after giving up their baby. Words cannot express our thankfulness to APO for their love and support of every person involved in the journey of adoption. They are truly a blessing.

What APO means to us...LOVE. APO is first and foremost about LOVE. Love for Jesus. Love for babies. Love for birth families. Love for adoptive parents. We felt this LOVE the moment we first set our feet inside the doors of APO. We knew immediately we were in the right place. After years of infertility, God clearly led us to APO. We are now back to adopt our second child and wouldn't be anywhere other than APO. APO makes what can be a long journey of up and down emotions, the easiest ride possible. They take your hand and lead you, but not before seeking the Lord's wisdom first...that's the difference. We certainly credit God for our wonderful son...He put all the pieces together with APO being a key piece! We wouldn't have our precious family if it wasn't for APO.

I interned at APO for a semester. The staff is absolutely wonderful, and the work they do is so valuable. APO loves their clients so well, and it was such a great environment to work and learn in!

Serving at APO has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The sole purpose of APO, are the children. Every area in this organization from the time a woman walks through the door is about the child. Whether it is finding a Godly, and loving home for the child to be raised in, to teaching parenting skills to a child's teen mom. The staff, volunteers, and board members all have a passion for making a difference in the lives of children. I serve in two different areas at APO, and there is no difference in the passion. It's all the same...love the children and help them to be raised in Godly homes.

Aggieland Pregnancy Outreach assisted us with the adoption of our daughter, Abby, in 2005. Abby is now 7 years old. The entire experience was amazing. Kim and the staff at APO are a true blessing - they supported us in many ways through a complex and emotional process. They think of APO as more than just an agency -- it's a way for them to touch people's lives in a positive way.

We knew APO was the agency for us when we attended our first informational meeting. They believe in the same values as we do and made us feel very comfortable during the entire adoption process. Each staff member is caring, informative, and always available when we had a question or concern. We were overwhelmed with their commitment (working long and late hours) and follow up not only with us but with the birth moms as well. They made an experience that could be stressful and emotional into a memorable and amazing journey our family will never forget.

After the first seminar with APO I knew they were the agency for us! I am most impressed by the counseling/education they provide birth moms and adoptive families. I also love the fact that when you cal they know who you are- its so nice to feel welcomed and known during such a trying process.

I was introduced to this wonderful organization by one of the most caring people I know, Joe Carver. Joe puts a ton of time (and money) into providing for APO, and the community as a whole. In fact, its all the great volunteers that are so dedicated that make something like un planned pregnancy and adoption possible in Aggieland.

Aggieland pregnancy is a wonderful local adoption agency but that is not all that the organization provides for our community. Once a week volunteers from all over the twin cities of Bryan and College Station meet with teen moms to provide mentoring, parenting classes and religious education. The support given to the young moms and their partners has proven to be an invaluable resource for them to assist them in moving forward in their new roles as parents. There are also many other things that are offered at "Mama Club" as it is called. The participants gets 'bucks' for attendance and various other things that they can spend at the "'Mama Store" to buy children's clothes and other donated items. The teen moms can sign up to have a 'Mentor Mom' who will meet with them on a regular basis to encourage and teach them. I have been involved with APO for a couple of years and it is the most rewarding volunteer work i have ever been privileged to be a part of...it is just a tremendous ministry to our local community!
