I know this is a really old post, but I happened to be reading through those..here's a song that has meant a lot to me..it's from the movie D.A.R.Y.L., about a boy (robot) who's adopted by people who love and grow with him.

the song is by Teddy Pendergrass: Somewhere I Belong...


Where am I going
I've been lost so long
There's no shelter from the cold, winter blowing
I keep dreaming of
Waking up in empty beds alone


Somewhere I belong
Somewhere I can call my own
Open your arms to me
I've got feeling that your love is leading me
Home...

How'd you find me?
Hold me from the storm
Make a heartache disappear
Feel the fire, Love can keep us warm
I just can't belive I'm finally here
I am here, I am here

Somewhere I belong
Somewhere I can Call my own
Open your arms to me
I've got the feeling your love is
Leading me home...somewhere I belong

Then the chorus repeats itself...but this is the song and movie I think of when I think of adoption...for the most part.

The Blessing
©2003 Jennifer C. Shaw

In the days before I even dreamed of a child
And in the nights before I knew your name
The Lord knew you; He meant you for me all the while
And now my life will never be the same

In His word He said He knit you together
He planned your smile and every hair on your head
His love for you is so infinite and tender
He gave His son to stand in your stead

CHORUS:
You are a blessing
It is an honor
That the Lord has given me to you
So I will cherish my wonderful blessing,
For that’s the life work the Lord has given me to do.

And though it seemed impossible to bear the time
It stretched so long, seeming endless in its span
When they gave me you and I finally knew that you were mine
I saw it clear: the perfection of God’s plan.

CHORUS

You are a blessing.
It is an honor
That the Lord has given me to you.
So I will cherish, and remember
The Lord’s love for me when I look at you.

I've had a few people emailed me about this. You can find her on Indieheaven and iTunes. I'm glad so many people like the song.

Ok, I had to get in on this one...

Steven Curtis Chapman, When Love Takes You In

I know you've heard the stories
But they all sound too good to be true
You've heard about a place called home
But there doesn't seem to be one for you
So one more night you cry yourself to sleep
And drift off to a distant dream

Where love takes you in and everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart
When love takes you home and says you belong here
The loneliness ends and a new life begins
When love takes you in

And somewhere while you're sleeping
Someone else is dreaming too
Counting down the days until
They hold you close and say I love you
And like the rain that falls into the sea
In a moment what has been is lost in what will be

When love takes you in everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart

And this love will never let you go
There is nothing that could ever
Cause this love to lose its hold

When love takes you in everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart
When love takes you home and says you belong here
The loneliness ends and a new life begins
When love takes you in it takes you in for good
When love takes you in

These songs are ALL so good. Some I never heard of, so I appreciate you taking the time to share them with us.

For those of you who scrapbook, I have found that some of these songs work out well in my children's scrapbook.

Thank you everyone for sharing!!!!

I wrote the beginning of this when my son was born, and sang it to him - then when my daughter was born I added to it and sang it to both them.

Once upon a time
I had big dreams
Of little bare feet
And high pitched screams

G-d had a plan
That was different than mine
My angel would come
All in due time

I’ll never forget the day
That she chose us
Said she wanted him to have it all
And though she couldn’t raise him
She’d watch him grow tall

And so we went together
Two mothers and one child
To welcome this sweet baby
With tears and with smiles

She held him close
She let him go
She tried to be strong
She cried as she listened to
His new momma sing this song

Just because you’re someone else’s
Doesn’t mean that you’re not mine
Sweet angel baby
Today you are my own.

And then three years later
Again she’s all alone
This time a little girl
Who needs to go home

She’ll be with her brother
His father and his mother
And so……
She held her close
She let her go
This time she was strong
Two mothers cried together
As they sang this song

Just because you’re someone else’s
Doesn’t mean that you’re not mine
Sweet angel baby
Today you are my own.
