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.

I am actually sitting in our hotel in Guatemala writing this post!!!

We met our dd yesterday who is 5 months old. She is such a doll. She is back with her foster mother now which was completely gut wrenching to say goodbye to her...for now.

Praying for all those discerning or in the process of adopting.

God bless,

Marybeth

Wow Marybeth!
Thanks for posting.
It reminds me of our trip to Guatemala.
