Holy Father - our Father who loves children! we trust you with this adoption process and we trust you with the life of the child that will be brought into our family. we believe our desire to adopt a child is from You, and we are willing to assume the responsibility of raising this child unto You. we commit this adoption to You and we will trust You every step of the way.
our confidence is in You -most definitely not in ourselves or our parenting abilities. we trust that You will bring this adoption to pass according to Your purpose and plan. use us as Your instruments of peace and righteousness to bless this child. we purpose in our hearts to train this child up in the way that he/she should go. use us however you want in the life of this child.
Lord, we are embracing this child (Your best gift) as our very own with Your love. we do not even know him, yet you are already cultivating a love for him in us. Thank you, God - for we know the only way we can love is because You first loved us.
Father, take this child up and be a Father and Mother to him as we extend our hands and our hearts to embrace him. thank You for the blood of Jesus that gives protection to this one whom we love.
we thank You for the man and woman who conceived this child and pray that You will bless them, cause Your face to shine upon them and be merciful to them. if they do not know Jesus, we ask You, the Lord of the harvest, to send forth laborers to share truth with them that they may know You and your great Love.
mercy and truth are written upon the tablets of our hearts, and You cause us to find favor and good understanding with You and with man — the adoption agency staff, the judges and all those who are involved in this decision-making process. may all be careful that they do not despise this little one over whom they have jurisdiction — protect his heart, his mind, his body - even now, God, please surround this little one with safety and love.
Lord, we are looking to You as our Great Counselor and Mighty Advocate. we ask for Your wisdom for us and for everyone involved in this process.
We are calling on You in the name of Jesus, and You will answer us and show us great and mighty things. No weapon formed against us and this adoption shall prosper. Father, we believe; therefore, we have spoken. May it be done unto us according to Your Word.
