Adoption Day, 20 hours to go!

Maura Catherine...welcome to our family! 

On April 28th of last year I prayed at St Gianna's shrine, on her feast day and with her relics for our family to grow.  One week to the day later I met  you for the first time and fell madly in love.  It was a bit of a roller coaster, but you were truly meant for us.  You have filled our lives with so much joy and love.  We love you and are counting the minutes until 10am tomorrow when it is finally and forever official.  Wednesday you will become a part of our forever family.  Saturday, St Gianna's feast day (April 28th) we will be giving thanks for you.  Sunday, St Catherine of Siena's feast day, we will be baptizing you (on your name's day) and you will forever become a part of God's family. 

XOXOXO
With all our love,
mama & papa

Praising God right along with you. The video was absolutely terrific.

As you know, St. Catherine is the patroness of our daughter Kate and St.Gianna is the patroness of our daughter Gianna (12.22.10 - 1/5/11), so both are very special in our family.

We, too, are foster parents who long to have God grow our family. I will take a hint from you and ask both Saints Gianna to intercede on our behalf with this request, in accordance with God's Holy Will.

CONGRATULATIONS to you and your BEAUTIFUL FAMILY.

In Christ, from Whom all blessings, flow,
AM
