All loving and merciful Father,
by Your abiding presence and abundant grace
You know our every need.
Bless all women who have adopted a child.
They have so valued Your gift of life
that they have welcomed a child into their home,
and opened their hearts and their lives.
Help them to know Your loving Providence,
and guide them in their journey of motherhood.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
