Our agency video from our Russian adoption used "From A Distance" and it was very fitting. I am not sure of the singer/writer.

Is that the version by Bette Midler? I can't remember what the words were.

I used "In My Daughters Eyes" on Kenza's first video, you can see it at
http://clipshack.com/Clip.aspx?key=A80E49715392BFCF
if you want to see how the song worked out in it.

I am currently using "Taking You Home" by Don Henly for her coming home video....not done yet but I LOVE the song!

GOOD LUCK, videos are great keepsakes for years to come!

One more..."Miracle" by Celine Dion, I used it for my son. He is bio but I think it could definatly fit into an adoption
here's his video if you want a sample

I also LOVE the song, "Baby Mine", but am especially in love with this version sung by Bonnie Raitt. It's on this CD that's a compilation of Disney songs sung by current artists and it's called "Stay Awake". Shawn Colvin also has done an album called something like Holiday Songs and Lullabies that is terrific - there's a song called "Rocking" that is beautiful as well.

another one

I have a special place in my heart for THIS song, and no one here has mentioned it. It's not "that" popular, but you can find it on most of the music download sites, and it's on a compilation CD I have, of parenting type songs....

It's called "A SMILE LIKE YOURS" and is sung by Natalie Cole. It is simply beeee yoooo teeee fullll !!!!

Lyrics:

Thought I'd seen everything
there was to see in this world
Now I'm not so sure
I've really seen anything at all
I thought life
Could show me no surprises
But then you came
And showed me I was wrong

*Chorus"
I have seen the bluest skies
Rainbows that could make you cry
I have seen miracles
And days that changed my life
I have seen the brightest star
Shine like diamonds in the dark
But I've never seen a smile
As beautiful as yours

Thought I'd been everywhere
I've climbed a mountain so high
Sailed the sea across the skies
But I was nowhere at all
Until that day
You came into my senses
And your smile made
Sense out of it all

(chorus again)....
--------------------------------------

And you cannot truly appreciate this song until you hear it, and know the history behind why that is ADDISON's song...!!!

Love this thread...I love music anyway!!

Jen
