Adoption Novena
Hey everyone!
Happy Sunday to ya'll! I came across this Adoption Novena and I pray it every morning when I wake up. I just wanted to share it with you, in case you are interested 
Adoption Novena
The Prayer of Abandonment for Adoptive Parents
Father, we abandon ourselves into your hands, to send a child, or not, as you see fit. You by whom the Word was made flesh, send us a miracle, if this is what you desire, or lead us to him/her if that be your will. We do not ask for guarantees, no parent can. Only light enough for the very next step. We do not ask for a perfect child, nor can we promise to be the perfect parents. Whatever you choose for us, whatever you desire, we abandon ourselves to your perfect will. We are ready to offer our daily 'yes" until that perfect will be revealed in us. And until, at last perfected, we bear witness to the work of redeption you began in Eden. We love you Lord, and offer ourselves wholly and without reservation. We surrender ourselves, moment by moment, knowin that this is only the first small step of a lifetime of surrender, so that we may be made more perfect in love. That we might imitate, on earth as in heaven, the redemptive love, the adoptive love, the selfless love, with which you first loved us.
Hope you all have a wonderful week
