Adopting Special Needs Children

We wanted to share this note that Barbara sent for those interested in adopting a child with special needs. As a friend told me on Easter Sunday, which was yesterday, “we need them more than they need us”. There is something about the smile these children have, their souls are full of so much love! We pray that this information will be a blessing to all those who are seeking such a gift.

Dear T –

Thank you so much for writing. I’m sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you.
This is my main email account and I sometimes let the other one go for a while.
Thank you for all the work you do for God’s children.

child or considering adoption as an alternative, please contact Robin Steele.

Love,

Adoption Novena and Patron Saints

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 her/him, 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 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 redemption you began in Eden. We love you, Lord, and offer ourselves to you, wholly and without reservation. We surrender ourselves, moment by moment, knowing 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 lovewith which you first loved us.
