Oh, who would have guessed? Who would have seen?
Who could have possibly known?
Who could have possibly known?
All these roads we have traveled, the places we've been
Would have finally taken us home?
There are those who think families happen by chance,
A mystery their whole life through,
But we had a voice and we had a choice--
We were working and waiting for you.
So, it's here's to you and three cheers to you!
Let's shout it, "Hip, hip, hip, hooray!"
For out of this world so tattered and torn,
You came to our house on that wonderful morn...
And all of a sudden this family was born.
Oh happy Adoption Day!
Wherever you came from, wherever you go
This is the place that we start.
This is the place that we start.
Whatever you learn, whoever you know
You've still got a home in our hearts.
No matter the name and no matter the age
No matter how you came to be
No matter the skin, we are all of us kin--
We are all of us one family.
So it's here's to you and three cheers to you!
Let's shout it, "Hip, hip, hip, hooray!"
For out of a world so tattered and torn,
You came to our house on that wonderful morn...
And all of a sudden this family was born,
Oh, happy Adoption Day!
We are SO blessed to have you Eliana Marda, Calvin Tesfahun and Zahara Zenete! You have filled our lives with joy & love and made us a family!
Happy Adoption day to Eliana on June 25th....4 years home. Happy Adoption Day to Calvin & Zahara on August 6th....2 years home.
We love you!
