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 have a beautiful 6 month old foster child who will soon be adopted by the same couple who adopted her sister 5 years ago. In the interim, they had a birth child, a son. In preparing her 5 yo, Nicole asked several hypothetical questions: "If you had a sister ...?" Eventually, Miss 5 asked, "Are you growing her in your tummy? It's getting big again." Nicole replied, "No, if you had a baby sister, she would grow in Wendy's tummy, just like you did." Miss 5 thought for a moment and said, "I get it. You grow the boys, and Wendy grows the girls!"
Such wisdom!

That is so precious and adorable. So, adoptions are miserable for some in Australia but not others once they have adopted siblings? I just wonder since we are going through this long, drawn out fostering with one of our fds. We are in the U.S. though. -BlessedBGod   JMJ
