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.

Dear mothers and grandmothers,

Please pray for the Holy Spirit's guidance and the Blessed Mother's loving embrace in my home. I need to talk to my 13yo and younger about their 18yo sister placing her baby for adoption. I just can't find the courage to start this conversation. I need to do this because I don't want them to find out differently. As I type, though, I remember the Blessed Mother's protection of my dc's hearts from past family tragedies. I want to express the joyful side to them but I am so full of conflicting emotions.
God bless you and yours.

Praying for you all, Tammy. Such a difficult thing to explain. May the Holy Spirit guide your words and your dc's listening.

Peace,

Praying....

I'm an adoptive parent. I know the joy of having two babies placed in my arms after their birth mother's great sacrifice. The Holy Spirit will bless you!
