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.

Finally!

Today, June 20, is the one-year anniversary of the finalization of Rose's adoption. We have finally finished editing the slideshow we made for that big day.

Rose: Our Adoption Story

Thank you for your prayers and encouraging words these past two and half years! She is doing very well and started walking recently!

Amazing. Such a beautiful testimony to your trust in God. I love it.

She's a little doll, isn't she?!

Erica, I am SO glad you put that together! I LOVED it! What a beautiful testament to God's work and His great love through your family!

Our prayers of thanksgiving and for grace continue for you all! How exciting that she's started walking!   

And I can't get over how grown up everyone is. The years fly by!

How beautiful! You all are so blessed to have each other. I did cry all the way through, though.   May God continue to bless all of you!

Because of copyright laws I was not able to view this video in Germany.
Now, today in the USA I saw it.
Beautiful! Erica, you are truly blessed. Thank you so much for sharing your family with us.

I can hardly sit and watch anything online, but I was glued to my seat watching your adoption story.
What a beautiful story.
