I hate to be a downer... and I hope you all have your tissues ready. This song...sums up all my feelings. I apologize now for only being able to post a link-- I haven't yet figured out how to post a video (anyone want to tell me how??? :) ) Mom...don't be mad... it might be a tear jerker. Below are the words to the song-- could Kelly Coffey have nailed it on the head any better?
I Would Die For That
"I Would Die For That"
Jenny was my best friend.
Went away one summer.
Came back with a secret
She just couldn't keep.
A child inside her,
Was just too much for her
So she cried herself to sleep.
And she made a decision
Some find hard to accept.
To young to know that one day
She might live to regret.
But I would die for that.
Just to have one chance
To hold in my hands
All that she had.
I would die for that.
I've been given so much,
A husband that I love.
So why do I feel incomplete?
With every test and checkup
We're told not to give up.
He wonders if it's him.
And I wonder if it's me.
All I want is a family,
Like everyone else I see.
And I won't understand it
If it's not meant to be.
Cause I would die for that.
Just to have one chance
To hold in my hands
All that they have.
I would die for that.
And I want to know what it's like
To bring a dream to life.
For that kind of love,
What I'd give up!
I would die for that.
Sometimes it's hard to conceive,
With all that I've got,
And all I've achieved,
What I want most
Before my time is gone,
Is to hear the words
"I love you, Mom."
I would die for that.
Just to have once chance
To hold in my hands
What so many have
I would die for that.
And I want to know what it's like
To bring a dream to life.
How I would love
What some give up.
I would die ...
I would die for that.

its a good thing you warned us that its a tear jerker... but still, this just moved my heart.
we struggled with IF and did one round of IVF... after it failed I was devastated. and I realized what I wanted most in my life was to be a mother, regardless of how our children came into our lives. with that realization we began our journey to adopt, and 14 months later our newborn son was placed in our arms - life was pretty much perfect (and it still is!)
we continue our quest to build our family, and are now in the midst of our second adoption. this was the right path for us and we've been so blessed.
just know that i understand exactly how you feel - hang on to your hope, you WILL be a mom.
hugs to you.
I cry everytime I see that video.
That song is right on...Thanks for sharing!
