Home for the Holidays & A Thousand Years Video

All I can say is WOW!  If you watched it tonight then you know what I mean.  If I ever had any doubt that adoption was placed on my heart then those doubts were laid a little more to rest tonight.  It didn't push adoption on you, it didn't make you feel like you were a bad person for not wanting to go down the path.  It just spoke of hope and honesty.  It spoke of what these kids go through on an everyday basis and the emotions that both sides go through.  I encourage you to watch it if CBS post the episode to their site or if it post to YouTube.

Though I never would have associated the two until tonight, Christina Perry's "Thousand Year's" is now my favorite song.  She sang it tonight and it really does relate to adoption:

"A Thousand Years"

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
