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.

Can I ask for a special prayer request?

Dh and I have been mulling around and praying about what is next for us. We have considered reversal, but so far we don't see God leading us in that direction.

Just today I got a contact for a midwife who counsels pg girls and helps facilitate adoptions. I felt a leap of joy instantly thinking, maybe we could have one more! Dh is open too.

But of course there is the fear and worry that followed.
I do want us to be prayerful about this and I would like some prayers please for us to discern God's will for us and also for our wisdom and courage to deal with it, whatever it is.

Thank you so much.

I will pray for you Tracy.
If it helps at all, I don't think there was one adoption in which didn't worry me at some point. It is an opportunity to hand your heart over to the Lord and let Him lead.

Easy to type - hard to do!

These hardships can also be a means to discerning God's will and having peace. If you can continue despite fears, the chances are God is giving you the grace. If you can't, no matter what you do to overcome it then maybe this isn't God's Will for you.

[I'm having a lot of "should I post this anxiety" lately. I'm only trying to be helpful . I will pray.]
