Please watch - this is beautiful

Someone posted this on my Kyrg yahoo group. I think it's a great follow-up to the previous John Stossel thread. Turn up your volume!!

Absolutely beautiful and so moving! I especially loved the phrase "God's timing is painful, but perfect". This is so true.

Incredible!

My husband and I had 5 miscarriages before we decided to adopt. We leave 2/16 for our final trip to Russia to pick up our little guy. The video, and song, touched us deeply! Thanks for sharing it with all of us!
