Our Family Journey

Tonight on one of the adoption blogs I subscribe to, someone asked what was our favorite adoption song, or the song that reminded us most of our adoption journey?

I immediately thought of a song that I discovered shortly after we received our referral of Maria. It will always have significant meaning for me, and I hope someday for Maria. I think the lyrics are beautiful and especially poignant for us. I have reposted the video that I made with our referral pictures of Maria....look how tiny she is! The video has the initial pictures of Maria, the pictures of the first time we met her and our first visit trip. The song is Lullabye by the Dixie Chicks...forever known by me as Maria's Lullabye...Enjoy!

Here are the lyrics:

They didn't have you were I come from
Never knew the best was yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
And I hear your laugh like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved?
Is forever enough? Is forever enough?
How long do you want to be loved?
Is forever enough, cuz I'm never never giving you up

I slip in bed when you're asleep
To hold you close and feel your breath on me
Tomorrow will be so much to do
So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you

How long do you want to be loved?
Is forever enough? Is forever enough?
How long do you want to be loved?
Is forever enough, cuz I'm never never giving you up

As you wander through this troubled world
In search of all things beautiful
You can close your eyes and you're miles away
And hear my voice like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved?
Is forever enough? Is forever enough?
How long do you want to be loved?
Is forever enough, cuz I'm never never giving you up

How long do you want to be loved?
Is forever enough? Is forever enough?
How long do you want to be loved?
Is forever enough, cuz I'm never never giving you up

Is forever enough cuz I'm never never giving you up
