"There's a lot of, you know, orphans that are so adorable. So, I mean, it just breaks my heart when I see things like that because I grew up around adoptive families and I've always wanted to help. So it's just a time and a place and hopefully soon I will be ready."
While it make take some time for the adoption process to be complete, Abraham's 7-year-old daughter, Sophia, is ready now.

“Sophia is in the right frame of mind and is very supportive as well,” Abraham said. “She is very open and accepting to understanding that someone else had other parents, and we would be their second parent and be a loving family to them.”
For the majority of her life, Abraham has seen many adoptions, which has insipired her to follow through with her initial plan and give Sophia a little sister.
“Every neighbor of mine was adopted and they also did foster care. I grew up around that. I’m very passionate,” she said.
