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.

We're beginning the paperwork trial for our next adoption this weekend. We will be doing another special needs child and ask that you please pray for us for the following:

1. That we would know which child God has chosen for us from our agency's waiting child list. Hannah just jumped out at us from that list and the rest is history.

2. That Hannah would adjust quickly to another child since she is very attached to me. I'm HERS and no one else's.

3. That my sister will be able to come to Washington and stay with our children while we travel.

Thanks!

Lisa,
I'm thrilled to hear that you are adopting again. We are still waiting for Michael to come home, but last night I told dh I was looking at Ethiopa for our next adoption-thinking he would laugh and shake his head at his crazy wife.
He said "Hmmmm, that's a possibility!!"

So we may be adopting again in the future,as well.

We will be praying.
Jennifer

Lisa, praying for this adoption. And Jennifer, praying for Michael to come home to you, and perhaps more adoptions in your future.

I appreciate your post so much but really Hannah is my superhero. I look at my biological kids life and can't imagine what Hannah went through in her orphanage.

She's only been home with us 5 months but already she has blessed our lives beyond my wildest dreams (even when she's acting like a 2 year old! ). And when she holds up her little arms to me and says, "mommy, hold you"...I just melt.

Her latest pictures are on our blog.

Yes, I see what you mean. She's so delicate and petite. After having only boys for thirteen years, I really appreciate those pictures of Hannah in her princess clothes. How adorable! (I have had foster girls for the past few years now.) God bless you all in your next adoption. I hope to adopt a few girls myself.    -BlessedBGod JMJ
