Repeat the following Novena prayers every day for 9 consecutive days.

Heavenly Father,
You are the Author of life and love.
You have called us by name
and made us your sons and your daughters,
and you know your plan for our lives.
If it be your will,
bless those who are pursuing adoption,
give them generous hearts,
and send them a child to love
and with whom to share your great love for us.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Petition to St. Joseph

Saint Joseph,
You know the yearning in the hearts
of married couples pursuing adoption.
They have so much love to give
and wish to share that love with a child.
As you took Mary and Jesus
into your home at Nazareth,
may the grace of parenthood also be granted
to married couples pursuing adoption.
We beg your intercession before the Father.
St. Joseph, foster-father of Jesus,
Pray for us.
