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.

Dear Friends,

My husband, children, and I were a foster family for 10 years. During that time we adopted 3 of our foster children. My children are now 16, 11, 8, 6, and 4.

Two weeks ago, the biological mother of one of the children we adopted contacted us and informed us she is due on December 2. She asked us if we would adopt her baby. We told her we would.

If possible, would you keep all of us in your prayers. Please especially pray for the health of this little one. The mother has been living a very difficult life and has a history of making poor choices during her previous pregnancies. I would appreciate it very much.
