Adoptive moms of boys...must read!

Heard this song and thought that those of you out there with adopted(ing) sons might love it as much as I did. It brought me to tears. At the time of my referral I was presented with about 8 boys to "pick" from. He is coming home with me simply because he was dressed in a little outfits with yellow ducks all over it. Something said to me, "This is my son." I'm sure the song was meant for a couple, but when I heard it, I immediately thought of the son I am bringing home. I can just picture dancing with him to it at his wedding some day!!!!!! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I found it on Apple Itunes while searching for another song. Maybe it will make the wait a bit easier..........

(I'd Choose) You Again, The Forester Sisters

Looking in my life,
Through the eyes of a young girl growing older all the time,
Maybe just a little wiser,
I can clearly see,
All my mistakes keep coming back too live with me,
Pointing out the roads not taken,
So much I'd like to change,
But one thing I'd do the same,
I'd choose you again,
I'd choose you again,
If God gave me the chance to do it all again.

I'd carefully consider every choice and then,
Out of all the boys in the world,
I'd choose you again.

Times weren't always good (like the wait in PGN!)
Seems like the Lord gave all the easy parts away,
But everytime the road got rocky,
He'd look at me and say,
You had all you needed as long I was there with you,
You are the reason I kept going,

If I could start my life anew,
The first thing that I would do,
I'd choose you again,
I'd choose you again,
If God gave me the chance to do it all again,
Well I'd carefully consider every choice and then,
Out of all the boys in the world,
I'd choose you again,
I'd choose you again,
If God gave me the chance to do it all again,
Well I'd carefully consider evey choice and then,
I'd listen to my heart and I'd choose you again,
You again,
You again.

I don't have an adopted boy, mine are both bio but this song still brings tears to my eyes! I think it will be perfect for you to dance with YOUR son at his wedding someday! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Everyone Glad that some of you enjoyed the song as much as I did. The song is on The Forester Sister Greatest Hits album, not the Greatest Gospel Hits, just their Greatest Hits album. Amazon has it for sale if you are looking for the CD.

Hope this helps. Keeping fingers crossed that this is the start of a great week for all of us!

Marla
