I heard this song on the radio two hours prior to our "matc.h" call. It's called "A Thou.sand Years" by Chri.stina Perri. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtOvBOTyX00
It's apparently from the Twili.ght movie about a love story but the lyrics spoke to me about how I feel about our child that we have been wanting for 4 years. I had to pull my car over because I wanted to write down the singer's name. Two hours later we got the call!!! Its my new favorite song. This is the chorus.....
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a Thou.sand years
I'll love you for a Thou.sand more
And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought Your heart to me
I have loved you for a Thou.sand years
I'll love you for a Thou.sand more
I guess I am not the only who felt this song relates to adoption because it will be sung on an CBS sp.ecial "A Home for the Hol.idays" tonight about adoption and foster care. If you are interested in adoption, in the process or have already adopted I think its worth tuning in.

What a beautiful song and so appropriate. I may just have to add that to my I-Tunes today!
As I am a birthmother myself who placed two for adoption...now going through infertility 8 years later...I wanted to share a special song with you from the birth mom's side.
This song was written by Michael McLean, and I sang this to both of my babies before I let them go.
"From God's Arms, To My Arms, To Yours
So many wrong decisions in my past, I'm not quite sure
If I can ever hope to trust my judgment anymore.
But lately I've been thinking,
Cause it's all I've had to do.
And in my heart I feel that I
Should give this child to you.
And maybe, you could tell your baby,
When you love him so, that he's been loved before, By someone, who delivered your son,
From God's arms, to my arms, to yours.
If you choose to tell him,
If he wants to know,
How the one who gave him life
Could bear to let him go.
Just tell him there were sleepless nights,
I prayed and paced the floors,
And knew the only peace I'd find,
Was if this child was yours.
And maybe, you could tell your baby,
When you love him so, that he's been loved before,
By someone, who delivered your son,
From God's arms, to my arms, to yours.
This may not be the answer,
For another girl like me.
But I'm not on a soapbox,
Saying how we all should be.
I'm just trusting in my feelings,
And I'm trusting God above,
And I'm trusting you can give this baby
Both his mothers' love.
And maybe, you could tell your baby,
When you love him so, that he's been loved before,
By someone, who delivered your son,
From God's arms, to my arms, to yours."
