Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

She made a great decision to follow through with this pregnancy, praying that all goes well for everyone, especially the little baby.

Thank you all for your prayers. They are greatly appreciated.

If you feel led, please continue to pray for the baby, the birth mom, our family, and the employees of the county where the baby was born.

The baby was born on December 1 in a county several hours away from where we live. The baby is doing well and is relatively healthy.

After the baby was born, the birth mom decided she wants to try and keep the baby. We were not surprised.

We will have to see how it goes from here. Child protective services in the county where the mother lives took immediate custody of the baby and the baby is in foster care in that county. It is up to child protective services and the judge as to what kind of options the mother will have in seeking to regain custody. The mother has informed the county that if she is unable to regain custody she would like for Dh and I to adopt the baby.

Thank you once again.

I am praying for this tiny baby, for her mother and for you and your family. I hope things are resolved soon.
