SO... I just started my first Tupperware fundraiser a couple of days ago. I'm really excited! It's a really great program where the person or organization that your raising funds for gets 40% of all the profits. I couldn't be doing it for a better cause. Jason's cousin Erica and her family are adopting a baby boy. He is due to be born in December. The costs to adopt a baby are super expensive, so they are looking for help with money for the adoption. I think adoption is soo great. I can't imagine being in the place of either mother (the birth mom or the adoptive mom). For the birth mother to love her unborn baby so much that she chooses to give him to someone that is in a better situation. I also can't imagine not being able to have your own children, but being unable. All the waiting and hoping has to be heartbreaking.
This song by Michael McLean is a beautiful expression of the love in an adoption. I can't read this without crying.
From Gods 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 judgement 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.
