Month 2 – Developing Baby Spiritual Adoption Program
Your baby is making progress developing all of his / her external features and internal organs . At 40 days his / her brain is functioning . His / her mother can hear his / her heartbeat now on an ultrasonic stethoscope . Milk-teeth buds are present at 6 ½ weeks . And it has been reported that a two-month old baby can suck his / her thumb . From this moment , your spiritually adopted baby grows and refines his / her body . But everything he / she needs to survive once he / she is born is already present by the end of the eighth week .
Please Pray
Jesus , Mary and Joseph , I love you very much . I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion .
Prayer of Archbishop Fulton J . Sheen
During the nine month Spiritual Adoption campaign , the development of the pre-born child will be displayed in the vestibule of the church . Please remember to pray daily for your Spiritual Adopted Baby and the baby ’ s mother and father .
