Feel free to hijack!
While we were waiting, I prayed to St Gerard, because my cousin's husband's mother (who knew Kevin Bacon - no just kidding) prayed to him when she was pregnant.
I prayed for the woman saints who I thought would be special intentions for mothers - both for me and the birthmom. Including those were Mary and St Anne and St Elizabeth (the Catholic Charities agency we used is St Elizabeth's).
St Thomas More, St Clothilde and St William of Rochester are noted patron saints of adoption.
Oops - I just noticed everyone else's posts. I guess you got some answers!
I also prayed to my and my hubby's patron saints and when we were choosing names, to our son's patron saint name.
