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.

Please PM me if you've ever dealt with obtaining temporary or permanent guardianship of a relative. Many thanks.

I'm afraid we may not have any choice...we are the godparents. Dad is not willing to care for the little girls right now and my MIL is 75. I want to do what is truly best for the girls. I really do need lots of prayers.

Thanks.

Nancy,
I'm moving this to the prayer forum. Folks with any knowledge can still PM you and the rest of us can pray.
St. Joseph, the Foster Father of Christ can surely hear you so close to the Holy Night:

Holy St. Joseph, Spouse of Mary, be mindful of Nancy and her husband and their nieces, pray for them, watch over them. Guardian of the paradise of the new Adam, provide for their temporal wants. Faithful guardian of the most precious of all treasures, we beseech thee to bring this matter to a happy end, if it be for the glory of God, and the good of their souls. Amen

Nancy, I'm praying for you and your husband during this discernment...and for these girls. This is so tragic for all of you right now!
