Can’t wait to go see this band live in March. My favorite Country band and in my top 10 favorite bands of all time. My dad got me hooked into them as a young kid and he would always play their albums he has of them and we’d always sing to the songs together. One of the biggest nostalgic bands of my life. Been listening to them a lot recently since my family got our tickets for a Christmas present. One of the best presents I’ve ever gotten because it’s something my whole family will get to go to together and will be a memory I’ll never forget.

This video is very triggering for adoptees and natural mothers. More adoption propaganda. Super, super disappointed in a band I've admired since the nineties. Read into it more. Look at the statistics, before you go spreading feel good, happy sappy propaganda. I refuse to assign this meaning to an otherwise beautiful song. The video comes close to ruining. Now let the adopters, the "birth mothers" still drinking the Kool-Aid, and the adoptees who've not yet begun the deconstruction/decolonization process chime in to scold me and "school" me. With the same talking points, platitudes, and outright falsehoods I've heard all my life. There's an entire army of us determined to end adoption as we know it, aka legalized lies, in the US. Adoption won't cure your infertility. You are not entitled to a child because you want one. Look up what the Bible says about coveting!! And go to therapy.
