If you had to pick just one song to describe your adoption memories, what song would you choose, and why? Please try to be original, and not use the same song twice...

I would choose Where Ever You Will Go by The Calling, because it describes everything...

So lately, been wondering who will be there to take my place. When I'm gone you'll need love

And maybe, I'll find out a way to make it back someday. To watch you, to guide you through the darkest of your days

Then I hope there's someone out there who can bring me back to you

I know now, just quite how my life and love might still go on... In your heart, in your mind I'll stay with you for all of time

I really love the song by Celien Dion: A New Day has come.. It reminds me that I had a whole new begining. Like it says in the song... "I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love"
When my son was just a few months old, his A mom bought me the CD. She explained to me that when ever she heard the song she thougt of me. To her, I was the angel that had given her a new begining. It was really funny when she gave me the CD because she had no idea that I thought of her and my son as the angel.
It's also really interesting how we have so many things in common and how we both love the same things. Anyway, that's my song that has help me through out the whole thing. I also love church hymns they always seem to bring hope! there is sooo soo much power in music! I love it!

I would have to say the song , One More Day, by Diamond Rio....Sometimes I feel like if I had one more day with him I could say all the things I didnt say because my emotions were running so crazy!

The song I would choose is: Give You to His Heart

By Allison Krause (Don't know how to spell her last name)

It is from the Nashvilled edition of the soundtrack to the movie The Prince of Egypt

Even though, I had a daughter ...this song was so powerful to me. I just happened to see the video and I started to sob when I realized what the lyrics were about.


I Give You to His Heart

Alison Krause

The wind is blowing down the quiet river,
a shining road that carries you alone.
Baby boy my love will last forever.
If you're to live, I must give you up to God.

I know our God will guide, protect and keep you.
Teach you faith and hold you by the heart.
Though your mother's heart is broken by your leaving,
her Father knows just who he is and who you are.

I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way,
with Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay.
But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part.
You must live.
So I give you to his heart.

The wind is blowing down the silent river,
a shining road that leaves me all alone.
A life for you's worth losing you forever.
Some day we'll stand in God's fair land, forever home.

I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way,
with Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay.
But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part.
You must live.
So I give you to his heart.

I wish that life wasn't always ending up this way,
with Heaven's love at stake and hell to pay.
But you in God's loving plan might be the missing part.
You must live.
So I give you to his heart.

Alabama's In Pictures
it is about a divorsed father how nerver getts to see his kids, but the it still fits. Missing first steps and first words and haveing to watch my little girl grow up in pictures. And all the while wandering if she will understand.

[roundthree]

This indecision's bugging me.
If you don't want me set me free.
Tell me who I'm supposed to be?
Don't you know which clothes even fit me?
So you gotta let me know.
Should I cool it or should I blow?
Should I stay or should I go?

-Joe Strummer

My song is "Somewhere in the World" by Wayne Watson

Somewhere in the world today a little girl will go out to play
all dressed up in her Mama's clothes
at least the way that I suppose it goes.
Somewhere in the world tonight
before she reaches to turn out the light
she'll be prayin from a tender
a simple prayer that's a work of art

And I don't even know her name
but I'm praying for her just the same
that the Lord will write His name upon her heart.
Cause somewhere in the course of this life
a little boy will need a Godly wife
So hold onto Jesus Baby wherever you are

Somewhere in the word out there
that little girl is learning how to care
she's picking up her Mama's charms
or maybe swingin' round in her daddy's arms
Somewhere in the world to be
though the future's not clear to me
Their's could be a tender love
grounded in eternal love above

And I don't even know her name
but I'm praying for her just the same
that the Lord will write His name upon her heart.
Cause somewhere in the course of this life
MY little boy will need a Godly wife
So hold onto Jesus Baby wherever you are
So Hold onto Jesus, Baby, Wherever you are...

I remember this song first, because it's a very close and personal subject, and although the song is about 'her' being out there somewhere, to me ... he is "Somewhere in the World" too.

The song that will always remind me of my experience is Mariah Carey's "Whenever You Call" I was about eight weeks along when this song came on. I was considering abortion, but that day in my car, I knew I was having a girl and I decided to place her for adoption. I can't get through that song without crying.

Love wandered inside
stronger than you
stronger than I
and now that it has begun
we can not turn back
we can only turn into one

I breathe for my daughter every day

[Aden1119]

My song for my son is "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilara. I know it might sound korny but for the 6 days that he was with me every person in my family said that was his song. He is so very beautiful "in every single way' and it is basically a song about just loving who you are and being strong.

Since I have two children I thought it only appropiate to post one song for each child. This is my second song for my second child:

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

At placement, my daughter's birthmother shared her song for her daughter she placed with us. It is by Dolly Parton, but at the time was sung by Whitney Houston.

I Will Always Love You

If I should stay, I would only be in your way;
so, I'll go, but I know I'll think of you every step of the way.
And I will always love you, will always love you.

Bittersweet memories, that is all I'm taking with me;
so, goodbye. Please don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you need.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you.

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of;
And I wish to you joy and happiness,
But above all I wish you love.
And I will always love you.
I will always love you.

[londar]

My song to my daughter Sydney is Tim McGraw's Please Remeber Me. Although she was adopted at two days old I think this song is appropriate because it says:

When all our tears have reached the sea part of you will live in me.

[mikey]

when ever i hear this, I think it's called if I had only known, I always think about my son
" SO unaware, i foolishly believed that you would always be there
Then there came the day when I tuned my head and you slipped away..."

[Kitti]

Lately I can't hear "I'm With You" by Avril Lavigne without being flooded with memories of my pregnancy and the last few days I was truly with my daughter. She was taken from me immediately after birth and I never even saw her face. I see her in my dreams or at least my image of the young woman she has become.

I'm an adoptee, and growing up this was my special song. I would always picture my birth mother signing this to me.

Take Good Care of my Baby ~ Bobby Vee

My tears are fallin'
'Cause you've taken her away
And though would really hurts me so
There's something that I've got to say
Take good care of my baby
Please don't ever make her blue
Just tell her That you love her
Make sure you're thinkin' of her
In everything you say and do
Ah take good care of my baby
Now don't you ever make her cry
Just let your love surround her
Make a rainbow all around her
Don't let her see a cloudy sky
Once upon a time that little girl was mine
If I've been true I know she'll never be with you
So take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Take good care of my baby
Be just as kind as you can be
And if you should discover
That you don't really love her
Just send my baby back home to me
Ah take good care of my baby
Well take good care of my baby
Just take good care of my baby
