To Make Her Love Me

Much against Josh's wishes I have become a Rascal Flatts fan and I bought one of their CD's.

(For some reason he doesn't like boy bands, he thinks they're gay and he is mad that they did a remake to a Chris Ledoux song.)

But when I heard their song, "To Make Her Love Me" I couldn't stop from crying. Sometimes I feel like we aren't good enough to adopt and that is why we don't get looked at. I wish I knew what we needed to do different to make a birthmom love us.

To Make Her Love Me - Rascal Flatts
You waved your hand and it was done
So let it be and there it was
A mountain, so high, it broke through, the sky
A canyon, so deep, it'll bring a man to his knees

[Chorus]
I've seen what you can do
I've seen you make miracles and hopeless dreams come true
You've made the heavens and the stars
Everything, come on how hard
Could it be, To make her love me?

I've said some things I shouldn't have
Tried everything to win her back
I'm human, I messed up, Is she gone?, Are we done?
Forgiveness, another chance, that's all I want, it's in your hands

[chorus]
I've seen what you can do
I've seen you make miracles and hopeless dreams come true
You've made the heavens and the stars
Everything, come on how hard
Could it be, To make her love me?

[Chorus]

To make her love me
To make her love me (oooo)

I also found another one of their songs that I can relate to or at least I hope to relate to someday. Every one who has adopted talks about how after it happens, all this pain will be worth it. I can't see that yet so it's feels so hard to believe. But I hope that someday it will be worth it. It's what keeps me going.

The Day Before You - Rascal Flatts
I had all but given up on finding
The one that I could fall into
On the day before you
I was ready settled for
Less than love and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
Oh, but that was all the day before you

Now you're here and everything changes
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I would never have to go back to
The day before you

In your eyes I see forever
Makes me wish that my life never knew
The day before you
The Heaven knows those years without you
Shaping my heart for the that day I found you
You're the reason for all that I've been through
Then I'm thankful for the day before you

Now you're here and everything changes
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I would never have to go back to
The day before you

  1. As you probably already knew I am a HUGE Rascal Flatts fan! I love every single one of their songs and relate in some way to most of them. I have all their cds so let me know if you want any other songs!

  2. I don't want you to ever feel not good enough to adopt. You know you are good enough. You have a kind heart and you sound like you have so much love to offer this child. That is what a child needs. Tim and I always thought we would adopt a new born after this infertility and I don't know now we saw this Ten year old that was beautiful not just in sight but she looked really loving. I read her profile and it states the only problem that she has is clingy (which means she is wanting love). I am telling you because I have also been stressed on what to do. My agency is only legaly able to do the age 0-2 and anything beyound that my social worker said she would update my home study for an older age but that I would no longer have them as an agency. I know this child needs a family and I want to know more about her but her agency won't give any info with out a my social worker giving it to her. I called a adoption attorney and have a free consult on Monday to find out how much it would be and if they can even do this for us. She lives in Oregon. I hear out of state adoptions are not easy but I will see on Monday. I didn't want to post anything on my blog in case my social worker see's it I don't want her to stop looking for a baby for us in case this 10 year old girl falls through. But you have to see that we have so much love to give and we are opening our heart and homes that is so much to give to a little person. I want to make sure you know you are good enough to adopt and I think you know that too you are just a little down today and that is okay. It wear on you the waiting. I understand and pray that you don't have to wait much longer.
