Spiritual Adoption Program
With assaults on human life increasing at an alarming rate, please consider making a personal commitment to
pray daily for one unborn child who is in danger of being aborted. Beginning March 25, we will pray for these
children that they will be carried to term and experience the fullness of life, as God intended. Pledge cards will be
available on Sunday, March 22. You are also encouraged to name your “adopted child”. Information on the devel-
opment of your baby will be available each month. At the end of the nine month period (December 25) we will
celebrate the “birth” of our spiritually adopted babies by donating gifts of baby items to the Apple Crisis Pregnancy
Center.

Well, your little baby now weighs six ounces. He has fngernails and
eyelashes. He has his own unique fngerprints, which will remain the
same until he dies. His taste buds are working. His sense of hearing is
developing and present at 14 weeks. There are no major developments any-
more. Your spiritually adopted baby is already well-formed, internally and
externally. All he needs now is time to gain weight and grow strong. What a
miracle he is!

Your baby is quite active in the womb now — although her mother won’t feel
her for another couple of months. If her mother’s womb had a window, you
could watch your spiritually adopted baby squint, swallow and move her
tongue. She can make a tight fst if you touch her palm. She is breathing
amniotic fuid which continues until birth, although she obtains the oxygen
her body needs through the umbilical cord. The baby you are praying for
weighs one ounce.

Your baby is making progress developing all of his external features and internal organs. His brain is functioning
at 40 days. His mother can hear his
heartbeat now on an ultrasonic stethoscope. Baby-teeth buds are present at
6 ½ weeks. And it has been reported that a two-month old baby can suck
his thumb. From this moment, your spiritually adopted baby grows and
refnes his body. But everything he needs to survive after birth is already
present by the end of the eighth week.

| Month 1 - Developing Baby |
|
Your spiritually adopted baby has
been quite active over the past
month. Already your baby is 10,000
times bigger than at conception. You
baby has developed the foundations
of her brain, spinal cord, and nervous
system by the 20th day. Her heart
began to beat on the 21st day, pumping blood through its own circulator
system and the blood type can be diferent from her mother’s. Your baby is most vulnerable during the next
month of being aborted. Pray that the
Lord of Life might move the heart of her mother to give her the most precious gift of all — the gift of life.
