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 help us welcome our new daughter, Rachel Jing Yu, born 10/19/06!! She's 20 months younger than Hannah. She's from the same province in China that Hannah is from. We were actually in China adopting Hannah when she was born! How weird is that?

We're hoping to travel in January or February to bring her home. Our website will be www.journeytome.com username/password: RachelR

Please pray that she will stay healthy, happy and loved and that her heart will be open to us. Attachment difficulties always scare me to death.

Congratulations, Lisa!! I know that feeling

And Rachel and I share a birthday! May the North American Martyrs (her patrons!) intercede for you, and my Saint Joseph guide you as you finish the process to bring her home.

Congratulations!

We will add you to our lunchtime prayers...we're praying for another family to bring their little guy home from Central America. We'll pray that Rachel comes home soon, too!
