だから愛をもっと。

Lyrics & Music by YOSH H. QUINZEL

キミと過ごした、かけがえのない日々。

振り返るとボクは何もわかってなかった。

カッコつけるくらいなら、笑われて強くなろう。

キミが困ってるとき、ボクはチカラになりたい。

…この手を広げよう。

心を開くよ。

だから愛をもっと。

空が晴れたなら海へ出かけよう。

空が雨でもね、一緒に過ごそうよ。

キミにまたがって

「ちゅっ」てしたいだけなんだ。

キミを抱きしめて、キミの前で泣こう。

この手を広げよう。

心を開くよ。

だから…

だから愛をもっと！

聞こえるようにもっと！

…だから愛をもっと。

[ENGLISH]

" Therefore, Let There Be More Love "

The irreplaceable days spent with you.

Looking back, I realize I didn’t understand anything.

If I’m just going to act cool, I might as well be laughed at and grow stronger.

When you’re in trouble, I want to be your strength.

…Let’s spread our hands wide.

I’ll open my heart.

So let’s have more love.

If the sky clears up, let’s head to the sea.

Even if it’s raining, let’s spend time together.

I just want to straddle you and give you a "chu."

I want to hold you tight and cry in front of you.

Let’s spread our hands wide.

I’ll open my heart.

So…

So let’s have more love!

Let’s make it so you can hear it more!

…So let’s have more love.

Forward, March!

How fitting that this is the month of March - because that is what we are doing! Moving ahead! Nate and I got some great news - our formal application has been approved!!! YAY! 

So what that means - we get to move ahead on the big checklist. We are now eligible to take our required classes through Bethany, and we can start to schedule for our home study process. 

Our first class is coming up in April - it is covering Transracial adoptions, and is aimed to help us determine our openness to a child of a different racial or ethnic background than Nate and I. We're really looking forward to it and learning more and connecting with other couples in the same position as us. 

We have been emailing with our social worker abut setting up our first home study visit. This one is actually not in our home, but in her office. That looks like it will be schedule for sometime in the next two weeks. Exciting, but nerve wracking. We want to make a good impression. 

Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers - we really appreciate it!!!
