On June 15, 1990, my adoption was finalized. I was just shy of five years old, but love took me in on November 5, 1985 when my adoptive parents received custody of me. I was 40 days old, sick, weak, and had received inadequate care from a woman who despite the fact that I was her fourth baby, had very poor parenting skills. Everything changed for me. The Lord knew that these people He had placed me with would love me and protect me the way she could not. My tears for my parents are joyful now.
I used to play this song all of the time, when I was single. Then my husband "took me in", and the love of God became so tangible! This is one of the songs we played at our wedding. Thank You, Jesus! You're awesome! Thank You for taking me in soooo many years ago.
I was adopted December 1st 1980 from Guatemala City Guatemala and I thank the Lord for giving me a wonderful mom and stepdad who is my dad, and more importantly introducing me to Jesus my Savior
this reminds me how lucky i am to be adopted... On december 13th i will have been adopted for 11 years<3 I love you mom and dad! thanks for taking me to my real home and showing me the Love of Jesus<3 i couldnt thank anyone enough for the life i have now compared to what might have been.
im waiting for my 2 kiddos to get here & give them a good life , i havent met them yet ; i just know its a boy of 2years & a girl of 5years - yes i am young ; but yes im ready to give them the life they never had . . <3'
they'll be in my hand the next week er so ;
im excited & i really dont care how they'll look , there getting all my LOVE! & everything i can give to show them the life they DESERVE!
I love this song because it really describes how much my life and many others have changed after some one adopted us.It is truly a great act of love when a person opens their heart and their home to a kid who needs love and some body to let them know that they will never be alone.Thanks Steven for this song because my father took me in and I will always be grateful.
This song makes me think of everyone on Earth before they find the Lord. Everyone is lonely and longing for Him weather they realize it or not and when they finally find Him, they go home to thier Father and everything is as it should be.
Of course I also think of the countless people searching for thier earthly families. It breaks my heart to think that so many children go to bed each night without parents or often without any one who loves them at all. May God bless everyone one of them.
My husband and I are still on our journey to find our child through adoption. International or domestic, adoption is such a beautiful and amazing thing. This song fits so perfectly.
This song makes me cry every time I hear it, one day I hope to be in a stable relationship with someone who wants children and be able to afford to adopt and give one or more child/children all the love and affection they deserve, may the goddess protect all who inhabit this planet
I have always thought that IF it is the Lord's will I would adopt. There are so many children who are alone in the world and have no one. That is If the Lord's has me to marry.
very beautiful song...
