Quotes:
|
| "An
amazing surge of love and commitment swells up in the hearts
of adoptive parents who are waiting for their child to come
home. Patty Stevenson has captured that powerful and urgent
feeling in 'I Will,' a richly emotional declaration of love
for her adoptive daughter...Stevenson's deceptively simple but
truly elegant piano precedes her clear alto voice. Performed
in a folk style, the gentle lullaby-like opening verse sets
the listener up for a chorus that could become the international
anthem for adoptive parents...'Lullaby', a sweet dreamy bedtime
song, includes Stevenson's husband, Craig Siemsen on dulcimer...
Though this CD contains only two tracks, it is a treasure for
anyone who has longed to love and hold a child far away..."

| "'I
Will' is by far the most beautiful song I have ever heard and
truly captures the heart-felt emotions that our family went
through and continue to feel for our precious daughter." |

"We
sang 'I Will' at our daughter's dedication ceremony and there
wasn't a dry eye in the church." -Adoptive parents

beautiful album!" |

| "This
song reflects the soul to soul connection that occurs when a
child is first placed in your arms. It does not matter if this
is a birth child or an adoptive child, the feeling is the same.
Once this happens it erases the intricate paperwork process
and the anxiety of the wait. The song truly reflects the love
and devotion felt by any mother. Very moving!" |

your voice/words combined with that beautiful music brings back
those feelings for me, the unknown, the hope, the struggle and
ultimately the blessed success. It reminds me of the lengths
to which we all go to realize our most treasured dream, having
a child to meet, hold and love." |

Will' is a very special love song that captures one of the most
beautiful experiences involved in adoption. It truly expresses
the wonderful yet mysterious connection that I felt for our
unknown (at that time) daughter. This recording is sure to become
a treasured keepsake for anyone touched by adoption." |

Stevenson's 'I Will' proves the extraordinary value of the
personal song - an artistic act of generous daring...for it

limitless love of a parent for her or his child."
