It is a beautiful ceremony that honors God, the birthparents and the adoptive parents. Many adoptive families choose to do Entrustment Ceremonies or Placement Ceremonies to mark the placement of their child, the day they join their forever family. Birthparents entrust the life of their child into the hands of the adoptive parents, often by physically placing the child in the adoptive parents arms.

This tender ballad about Adoption will have you reaching for a kleenex, and hopefully will make you think about adoption in a whole new way. Inspired by an interview heard on the radio with Christian recording artist Mark Schultz, this heart-wrenching song was written by Debbie L. Rice. Debbie’s father was adopted, and Debbie is also the mother of a little girl adopted from China.
