With 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.(Chorus) And maybe you can 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, and 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 is if this child was yours. (Chorus) Now I know that you don't have to do this, But could you kiss him once for me The first time that he ties his shoes, or falls and skins his knee? And could you hold him twice as long when he makes his mistakes, And tell him that he's not alone, sometimes that's all it takes. I know how much he'll ache. 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.

Words and Music by Michael Mclean When she was a little girlshe held her dolls like children.Dreaming of the day when she'dhave babies of her own.Now those dolls lie on a shelfas lifeless as the dreams she dreamed.It's become the deepest acheher heart has ever known.There's a man who's trying his bestto comfort her with roses.Telling her he'll find a wayto make their dreams come true.He's been saying this for years,but now his tears reveal the truth.In his heart he fearsthere's nothing else that they can do. Then a gift is given,a phone call straight from heaven.There's a child that's nearly duethat a young girl's giving you.She gave more than just one lifewhen she makes of this man and wifea father and a mother.She gives the gift they could not give each other. More than we could ever knowthis couple thanks the heavens.Every time they hold their child,they feel they hold the world.Words will never be enoughto share the way the family feels.From deep inside their heartsthey want to tell that girl: Not a day is ever throughtill we've thanked the Lord for you.Your sweetness lingers nearin our hearts and thoughts and prayers. You gave more than just one lifewhen you made of this man and wife,a Father and a Mother.When you gave the gift we could not give each other.You have changed our lives forever. Only you and God abovecould give this gift of lovewe could not give each other.

i forgot to tell you, there is a book by michael mclean that goes along with that first song, i don't know if you've heard of it before. i think it's worthy of adding to the birth mom gift list!
I have this CD. It reminds me of when my sister placed her baby. It was super hard for us and I cried countless times when I heard it but they truly are good songs.
This is really sweet. I am so excited for you guys!!! It may be a long road, but you are both great people, and its great to know that Heavenly Father knows what is going on and is guiding you in the process. And thanks for your comments on my blog. We are way excited for our baby too!
