I found these lyrics to a song while searching for songs and poems about adoption. I had never heard the song before, but the words are moving--
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
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
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
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
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
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
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

Just a quick update on our progress-- The Lord provided the rest of the money we needed in order to turn in our stack of documents (dossier)!! We are making one change to the age parameters we set before sending it in, and have to get the last 2 documents apostilled, then it will all be ready!
We are so excited. =) Please continue to pray for us through this process, for the paperwork aspect to go smoothly as it has to this point, and for our children who only God knows at this point (for their health and safety and for God to be preparing their hearts to be adopted into our family).

I love that song and the meaning behind the words! I posted the music video a while back and it still brings tears to my eyes when I really think about what it is saying :)
Wow-your fundraising is going very well! So excited that you're close to being able to submit your dossier! One step closer to your children :)
Words that mean so much more as you go through this journey and we, as your family, cheer you on and look forward to meeting your new little ones. Praise the Lord for His provision of the funds needed to this point!
Love You!
So exciting that you're getting closer! Thanks so much for participating in the fundraising auction that our dear friends did for us. It was a blessing and an encouragement to our family!
