Adoption Day Playlist

                       

If you're like me, and every other mom in the world, certain songs make you think of your kids. We used Michael Franti's Let It Go in the video we made when fundraising to adopt Mikey. Nearly two years after creating the video, I still cannot hear it without choking up. And whenever Ray LaMontagne's You Are The Best Thing pops up on Pandora, Max invariably says "This song makes you think of your babies!"

So last week, on the morning of Mikey's adoption finalization, I began compiling all the songs that make me think of my little people when I hear them. I also asked some adoptive mama friends which ones they love too. The result was a pretty amazing playlist for Mikey's adoption day party.

• You Are The Best Thing -- Ray Lamontagne
