On Thursday, May 9th, at 3pm, EST. The Hour of Mercy! On the Feast of the Ascension!!

Please please please cover us in prayer. If you can offer a Divine Mercy Chaplet for all involved, we would be greatly appreciative.

We are so ready to adopt--our hearts are longing and aching--and we pray that this is the situation the Lord has intended for us.    

********UPDATE*******
May 9th, 2013

Thank you for the prayers!!
We are now expecting a baby boy, via adoption, on September 29th!!!

We are THRILLED!!!   Our children are ECSTATIC!!!

Thank you for all of your prayers and support!!

Praying, Maggie! There is so much deep emotions for everyone in the adoption process. As Erica beautifully said, love her, and be yourself. And, I would add, try to place in your heart the feelings of the young woman, as I was once a young woman considering adoption to protect my dd from the biological father, and it must be so hard a step to make. The Lord will lead what is best for all, what a beautiful and perfect time for the meeting! "Jesus, I trust in You!" Holding you all up in pray today!
