song suggestions for CD: baptism this Saturday, 4/4!

I was wondering if anyone can help me. We're finally baptizing our children this Saturday--DS turned 4 in Feb, newly arrived DD will be 4 in June. We're Catholic so you can imagine how shocked some of our relatives are that we've waited to baptize our son who's been home since 2005. Heck, we're shocked too but we kept hoping and believing DD was coming home in a few months and those "few months" kept dragging on until 3.5 yrs had passed. We are so excited to finally be doing this and want to have a CD of songs related to adoption and ones about the love for your son or daughter. You'd think I would have prepared this a long time ago but I never did.

I searched the forum for other posts on songs people used on DVDs or CDs they prepared and found one recent post that was really helpful: Song suggestions for video. Do I have to download each song individually from iTunes or some other site? I've never created a CD using these sites. If there is an easier (and perhaps cheaper and legal) way of burning the songs, I would appreciate knowing that. Time is a-ticking...You can e-mail me or post here.

If you have any suggestions on additional songs for a long journey home, I'd love to know them, as well as anything specific about a boy since I don't want to shortchange the love we have for our son.

Thanks!

Damaris

Have you heard/considered "Gracie" by Ben Folds or "Godspeed" by either the Dixie Chicks or (my preferred) Rodney Foster?

Godspeed (all about baby boy love): YouTube - Godspeed - Radney Foster

Gracie (all about baby girl love; although the opening lines are strongly bio focussed, unfortunately)
YouTube - gracie - ben folds!

Ann, I too love "When Loves Takes You In". I was listening to it last night (on YouTube) and got all teary-eyed too. I will definitely include that song. RE: your girls--you're SO CLOSE. I can't wait to know that you are making travel plans to get them. Hoping it's very very soon.

Judy, thanks for the blessings being sent our way.

Julie, I'll be checking out those songs you mentioned. I still need to get the CD ready. SIGH.

Damaris
