Hello, we're the Murphy family! We are excited to say that we are adopting! We are doing everything we can to prepare for this adoption. It has been a long road financially, but we have faith that God will bless our efforts. Our 3 year old son is waiting for the chance to officially call us "Mommy and Daddy". We know that adoption costs can be financially debilitating and can easily reach $35,000 or more. Some of us don't just have that kind of money sitting around. But it should stop a child from having a safe home and family that loves him to call his/ her own. That is the reason we are setting a goal of $8,000 to help ease the financial burden that often overwhelms adoptive parents as we have already exhausted more than double of that on our own, and we simply have not enough resources to continue on our own. We hope that by inviting you into this process, that you will see yourself as a big part of our family and community we hope to build around our child as he grows up. Thank you dearly for your efforts in keeping our son safe at home with us. The Murphy family
