My Mr. wrote and recorded a song to our future ‘Sweet P’ (P is for Palmer!), and it’s called Love Collides. It’s an acoustic guitar-meets-piano style ballad. It’s very tender, and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed the process of creating it!

There’s a chance Sweet P is out there waiting for us right now (our age range is newborn-3 years), so we want to take this opportunity to thank you for joining us on this journey, and for being such a special a part of our little one’s story!

Beautiful song. It gives me the chills thinking of how many people are supporting you and what a collaborative effort this baby will be. 🙂 Awesome.
I just donated! I have a son that we adopted from Guatemala when he was one year old. He is now 13 and an absolute joy! Adoption is an amazing gift that I can’t wait for you and Kevin to receive. You will be wonderful parents!
Aaaaah you guys it is SO so beautiful. And please don’t feel weird about requesting donations. You’re giving us all an opportunity to be a part of this story. Thank you for the beautiful song!
Just sent off a small donation for you. Been following your blog for awhile and love everything you share. Kevin, this is such a beautiful song!
Thank you, Tiffany! 🙂
The song touched my heart. I shared your story on our Facebook Page for Sweet South Cottage. https://www.facebook.com/SweetSouthCottage
Thank so much for the share, Lisa!
What lovely lyrics! May God richly bless the continuation of your adoption journey!
I love it KP. You never cease to amaze me my brutha!!!!
Good luck to you and LP.

Thanks, Jason!
Wow! What a truly inspirational song. I am humbled and feel blessed to be given the opportunity to support you and share in your journey!
Love this! You guys are such a wonderful inspiration! 🙂
What a beautiful song from the heart Kevin! Donated and shared, I hope you reach your goal sooner rather than later (because I know this goal will be met.) Best of luck to you both.
I’m so honored to walk the same sidewalk as the two of you. 🙂 This is simply beautiful. I want it on every single radio station. I want everyone to hear it!!
This is such a great idea!! You should also look into adoption through the foster care system. In Texas the most you pay in adoption fee’s is $1500, but most adoptions are free!!! The kids range from 0 to 18 and there are more than 6000 kids legally free for adoption every day. In Texas, the kids also get free college tuition, which can be a huge help if you can help out a sibling group or teens!!! Anyway, most people don’t know about all of the help there is to families wanting to help kids in care:-) Good luck on your journey!!!
Looking forward to your journey with the child that is meant for you. Some of the most wonderful moments of my life were with my kids and grand kids. You will be terrific parents. Already looking forward to seeing how you decorate their room. 🙂
I hope things go smoothly for you both! I can’t wait to hear more updates 🙂 What a beautiful song, too!
My hubby and I are also one home-study deep (which in our state means 6 months into) our adoption process. We are adopting through the county and it is free!
Yay to our fellow one home-studiers! 😀 Congrats on your adoption, too! We tried going through our local office first as well, but unfortunately it didn’t work out. 🙁 We’re going to keep forging ahead with this new process, and can’t wait to adopt a little one along with you! 🙂
God bless you!!
The song is just beautiful! You two have entertained and inspired me in so many ways! Love sharing this journey with you!
Adoption has always been close to my heart…excited to be included in your journey!
Well done Kevin! Best of luck you two on your journey to becoming parents.
So very happy for you!!! My husband and I are one tearful, yielded prayer into our adoption journey. :0) We have chosen the same age. It’s so hard to go to bed at night when I just want to rock our child to sleep. We are faced with the same obstacle as you with financing all of it. But our God will do far above what we could ever ask or think!! He WILL supply all our needs! As Hudson Taylor said “God’s work done God’s way will never lack God’s supply.” I will be praying for you.
I posted about this on my Facebook. Probably should have asked you first, but figured that since your blog is so public, you have a great many people reading anyway.
May you bring your little one home soon–we know he or she is waiting for you as much as you are waiting for him/her/them.
In reading the other comments, I wondered if you have thought about alerting the media about the song…K-Love, AFR, etc. It would make a great heartwarming story and you could share more about adoption. Just throwing out random thoughts; I tend to be a real brainstormer.
Just donated. Adoption is such a beautiful example of Christ’s love for his children. May the Lord bless you and Kevin in this process, may it all happen in God’s perfect timing, and as you wait, may the Lord draw both of you closer to himself.
I know that by the end of the day your financial obstacle will be behind you…The song and the story are beautiful. Bless you both and the little one that is waiting for you.
Absolutely lovely! You both will make wonderful parents. Stay strong! My prayers are with you!

Thank you, Dawn! We appreciate your kind comment and are e-huggin’ you right back from Alabama! 😀
Wow. Just wow… It’s totally amazing and incredibly touching… I pray this transpires for you two quickly and with the perfect match! xo
May your journey be full of many blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never been so happy to donate!! Thank you for the opportunity to share in your journey and joy. ~Philicia
Awwww…..best wishes and prayers for you. I just donated!
What a touching song. So glad to follow your journey. Just think, your little one is out there somewhere and will one day hear his/her daddy ‘s song and know they were loved deeply from the very beginning.
Sweet P will be one lucky baby soon….lovely, lovely song Kevin containing such heartfelt lyrics. Can’t wait to walk with you on your new journey. Many prayers are coming your way from this day forward.
The song is so beautiful. I am praying for your perfect match to quickly be found. You two will make terrific parents!
Hi! Before I click over to check out your song (which I’m sure is wonderful!!) just wanted to tell you that I am part of a ministry that gives grants to qualifying adopting families. Feel free to check out our grant application and website at http://www.sparrowministries.com!
I LOVE IT! Around Christmas time, I was struggling with the feeling of not being able to “do more” for others. I have a little etsy shop that had been pretty neglected, and I decided it’s time to get back at it, and donate part of my profits to worthy causes. There of course are SO many opportunities to donate, that I didn’t know where to begin, and decided I would let God “tell” me what felt right with each donation. I was thrilled when I opened this email today and was “told” this is the one I needed to help. Although I can’t give a large amount, I know that others have been spoken to also, and this will happen for you. I have several friends who have adopted, and know through their experiences how joyous it is. Can’t wait to read about your happy ending. 🙂
Praying for you two and Sweet P!!!
My husband and I have been so fortunate to have 2 beautiful biological boys and as a family we are prepping for a future that includes our gift children. So our hearts and prayers are with you as you prep for yours!!! Much love to you from Toronto, Canada

Beautiful Song! You have an amazing voice! Best of luck to you on your adoption journey. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you, Brenda! 🙂
So beautiful! Love how the Lord gives us each unique gifts and talents and how you are both using them for His glory as you follow Him and step out in faith on this wonderful journey of adoption! Thank you for allowing us all to join you and for this wonderful song that I can soooo relate to! What a precious blessing each child is and I can not wait to see who the Lord has ordained for you to collide with! Blessings!!!
What a beautiful song! Happy to be a small, small part of your adoption story, and will think of you and your sweet baby-on-the-way every time this song pops up in my playlist. 🙂
This is so beautiful! I can’t wait to watch your story unfold with your new little one. Do you have some kind of estimated timeline for how long the process takes?
Thank you, Clare! 😀 We’re *hoping* to be matched by this Fall so we can welcome Sweet P home sometime early next year! 😀
Just donated! Love the song…amazing words, amazing voice, amazing cause. Love to you guys.
Thank you so much, Izabela!!! 😀 XO
Good luck with your adoption adventure. We have a beautiful 21 year old “baby” girl that we were blessed with when she was only 5 days old. Remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel…. Keeping you in my prayers.
Just donated! What a beautiful song! 🙂
I’m blown away! Thank you so much for sharing this with us, and for allowing us to share in this journey with you. What a beautiful song. I am going to share with everyone I know so that they can be blessed by your gift and journey — and so that they can prayerfully bless you, too. Godspeed to the place of your little boy or girl:-)
I just downloaded the song, it’s beautiful. I love ballads. I hope you will be able to hold Sweet P in your arms soon.
Donated from France…So happy for you !
( I don’t have the link to the song… )
Gros bisous et bonne chance à vous deux pour votre adoption !
