Let You Go- An Adoption Song

My name is Morgan and I am a proud Birth Mother to two beautiful twin boys as well as an adoptee myself. It's taken me a while to decide if I wanted to share this song or if I was going to keep it private. And I've come to the decision that I would regret not sharing it when I think about how it could touch people. From other birth mothers, adopted children, adoptive families, to just helping people have a better understanding of adoption. This is a song about my adoption experience, written and recorded for me as I was going through my placement by the man who is now the father of my two beautiful boys. He captured perfectly my feelings and experience. I placed for many reasons, but it will NEVER be because I didn't love or want them. I do and always will love them. But I still placed them, I don't regret it, and that's something that's hard for a lot of people to understand. Maybe this will help provide for people insight and even comfort. I know music has always been a tool of healing for me and this song reached into my heart and gave me an expression for my feelings. I believe it could do the same for others. And as personal as it is for me, if it can touch even one other person it’s worth putting it out into the world. One day soon I'm going to create a video of my story to play with it. But for now i'm sharing it just with some of the quotes that I collected through my process because I’m also a quote person, though not too many to distract from the music. He gave this incredible song to me, told me it's mine to do with as I wish. And I wish to share it with the brave women who've made the loving decision to place a child. Ive spent a long time Picturing you babies And the color of your eyes Will you be taller Or red hair like your grandma With a smile like mine Sometimes I hear heaven calling But I cant hear what they say I don't know where everybody's going In the coming days So I want to tell you Chorus My love is deeper than the ocean Could ever go And my heart will always beat inside you Stronger than you know That’s why I'm letting go People tell me they know what I'm feeling To try to ease my pain But the truth is The way my heart is breaking Its driving me insane But I want to tell you Chorus I always felt you Were someone else's boys Im only bringing you here And I feel blessed To bring you to this world That much is clear Chorus
