The song that plays throughout the video was written by Aaron Ivey, who along with his wife Jamie are adopting son Amos and daughter Story from Haiti. Their adoption is often heavy on my heart, as their process is being handled by the same people as ours and they have been working on bringing their children home even longer than we have. The lyrics to Aaron's song are beautiful and describe the emotions of trying to bring their children home:
Another photograph to wrestle in my head
Another sleepless night on concrete featherbed
These thoughts of you like bullets to my soul
We’ve got to find a way to get you homeI’ll find a way to get you here
If it takes my fleeting breath
Another sunrise hits the ground
And it’s a dark lonely sight
Lightyears away I hope you know
There is somebody searching
For the way to get you hereI will get you here
Throw the clocks away and run out to the street
We’ll fly to distant clouds where it’s just you and me
A day will come when all of this is gone
You’ve got to find a way to believeI’ll find a way to get you here
If it takes my fleeting breath
Another sunrise hits the ground
And it’s a dark lonely sight
Lightyears away I hope you know
There is somebody searching
For the way to get you here
I will get you hereClose your eyes and dream of a better day with me
AMOS STORY
As angels hold you tight, may you sleep in peace tonight
So dream, dream, dream my child
Hear the whisperings of hope
It’s a song that you can sing, as you sleep in peace tonight

thanks Stephanie - watched and cried and was reminded again to hope.
Loved that...thanks for sharing. That will be hands down the best airplane trip any of us will ever have!
Thanks Stephanie. Amanda, it was a great plane ride! I couldn't do anything but look at her the entire trip. I pray for all you families who are still waiting. The wait makes homecoming day that much sweeter. Be strong, and know your children will be home soon.
