Where The Heart Is

Our song centers on adoption in largely traditional contexts. Kids from orphanages are oftentimes treated as inherently flawed, when all they lack is love not given. The few parents open to this usually have to fight for the acceptance of their larger families. So we tell the story of a child hoping for home and a lady convicted that her baby is out there. We hope to shine the light on the beauty of these families; created by boundless love, profound commitment and a sense of purpose. And to begin eroding the stigma around it
