Radio Dedication Request **Updated**

I've dreamed of doing this for over 3 years and tomorrow could be the day it happens it I'm selected!!

If you live in the Toronto area you might want to tune in to CHFI 98.1 at 8:00am tomorrow (Friday) morning. Each morning there is a 'Feel Good Favourite' request and I called in, shared a bit about the excitement our adoption group of families is experiencing and told them that we anticipated seeing our babies faces for the very first time tomorrow!! (It's looking more and more like it might be the weekend as we haven't heard any more about the status of the translations but I'm still holding out hope!!)

I'm not sure they'll play my request but they just might. It's a unique story so that might encourage them to play it and also, I've been sharing my adoption journey with one of the morning show hosts as she has a friend with 2 daughters from China. It will be fun to listen and find out!

If you don't live in the Toronto area you can still listen in by clicking here (8:00am EST) and selecting the 'Listen Now' link.

The feel good favourite of the day needs to be an up-tempo, happy song so I chose Karen Carpenter's, 'Top of the World.' That's exactly where I am knowing that I'll soon be gazing at pictures of my precious daughter Hannah!!!



**Update**
They played my dedication!!! So cool! They changed the song but the one they chose, 'Baby, Baby!' by Amy Grant was perfect!! I caught it on my Flip and hope to post it later today. It was neat that the DJ's were touched by our story. Cool!!

  13. At exactly 8 a.m. this morning, I was dropping off dear friends at the airport as they head off this morning to China to get their darling daughter.

    Sure hope someone will post the clip.

    I thought maybe you'd request First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, but I guess that's pretty mellow for "morning drive" music.

    Can't wait to see Hannah's face.

  18. How exciting that they played it, although how could they not, hearing your story?! I'm so exciting for today or tomorrow to see Hannah's picture. I can't stop refreshing it's like waiting for your referral all over again!

  19. I can't wait for you to post the recording! Baby Baby is an awesome song!

    Oh gosh, I have goosebumps here.

    I still cannot believe that you haven't seen your daughters face yet. What agency makes you wait like that?! It is a sin to make you wait like this.
