Darn that Steven Curtis Chapman, he's done made me cry again! For those of you who aren't familiar with him, he and his family have had a huge impact on adoption across the Christian community. Seeing him in concert started the conversation at our house 4 years ago this month, and you know the rest of the story! Anyhow, he is a fantastic song writer and he always seems to know just how to bring tears to my eyes (& Mike's too). His latest song is called Cinderella, and below are the lyrics. This is an "unplugged" version from his blog.
She spins and she sways to whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I'm sitting wearing the weight of the world on my shoulders
It's been a long day and there's still work to do
She's pulling at me saying "Dad I need you!
There's a ball the castle and I've been invited and I need to practice my dancin'
Oh please, Daddy, please!"
Chorus:
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
Verse 2:
She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, "Dad the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancin'
Oh please, Daddy, please!"
Chorus:
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
She will be gone
Verse 3:
But she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowin' and tellin' us all they had planned
She says, "Dad the wedding's still six months away but I need to practice my dancin'
Oh please, Daddy, please!"
Chorus:
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

Hi Toni, this is Daena from Tudiabetes.com. :)
Just wanted to drop you a note. I think it's great that your family has adopted your 2 girls. For me, adopting is a tremendous show of love! And I know God will do wonderful things through your family too! :) BTW, your daughters are adorable. Reminds me of myself when I was a little kid.
