I've sure been thinking about this song alot lately. What a wonderful thing adoption is, so I wanted to share this with everyone who maybe going through the same thing.
FROM GOD'S ARMS TO MY ARMS TO YOURS
With so many wrong decisions in my past, I'm not quite sure.If I can ever hope to trust my judgement anymore.But lately I've been thinking, 'cause it's all I've had to do.And in my heart I feel that I should give this child to you.
And maybe, you can tell your baby when you love him so that he's been loved before.By someone who delivered your son, From God's arms to my arm's to yours.Now if you choose to tell him and if he wants to know.How the one who gave him life could bear to let him go.Just tell him there were sleepless nights I prayed and paced the floors.And knew the only peace I'd find is if this child was yours.
Now I know you don't have to do this, but could you kiss him once for me?The first time that he ties his shoes or falls and skins his knee, And could you hold him twice as long when he makes his mistakes.Tell him that he's not alone, sometimes that's all it takes -I know how much he'll ache.
This may not be the answer for another girl like me.And I'm not on a soapbox saying how we all should be.I'm just trusting in my feelings and I'm trusting God above.And I'm trusting you can give our baby both his mother's love.

Isn't it an amazing song! Your Mom gave us the CD/book. There are some other really great ones too. By the way your blog looks great and I LOVE being able to comment. Way to go!
Wow, these lyrics are amazing. Adoption has been on my mind a lot lately. I don't think it's time for us yet, but I know we'll be adopting in the future. Every time I see an Asian baby with caucasian parents, I have a pang in my heart of anticipation for the day when we do the same. =)
