    "You gave me Life, and they (adopted parents) gave me A Life"....a lovely way to put it. As an adoptee (who met her birthmom before she died), I always cry at these moments. Thank you.

    ML R I always cry at these moments too but I’m not adopted and had great parents. I seem to burst into tears faster for happy endings than I do for sad ones. Although sad ones stay on my mind longer. I am glad that you got to meet your birth mom before she passed.

    Kristen Chenoweth, very interesting story. I come from the same sort of situation. I was adopted as a baby. My biological mom was 16. My adopted parents were older and well established. Adopted mom a nurse. Adopted father an ordained minister. I definitely don’t have the gifts you do of singing, but when I met my biological mother it explained so much. She’s my identical twin only 16 years older. She said the same thing, can you forgive me, are you angry with me. The answer is I am absolutely not angry, I couldn’t have asked for a better life. I was terrible sick as a child, so having a mother as a nurse was beneficial. I was absolutely spoiled on birthdays and Christmas. Had a huge extended family. Personally I believe it was designed by God. I love your work, your voice is captivating. Godspeed Kristen.

    I'm certain Kristin wouldn't remember me but my family lived in Broken Arrow, OK for the year I happened to be in the sixth grade. Kristin was in my class. I wore a Christian themed t-shirt to school one day and she noticed it. At the end of the year, she told me to keep the faith and I would go far in life. I never forgot her words to me. Funny how little things/words like that stick with you for life.

In fact he never had more children, and he asked her to stand up with him this fall when he got married. We were invited too of course because "our" 4 year old granddaughter was the flower girl!

    *Linda F* Well, I was the only one among my siblings who could sing harmony. Blood kin we were absolutely, but the others had tin ears. I couldn't have loved them more than I did, but it would have been _sooooooo_ much fun if we could have sung together as children, like the Lennon Sisters (or just a rinky-dink group of street corner doo-wop singers).
