In early May we were able to talk to the Murphy's about their adoption experience. They've adopted three children internationally; the oldest is now in about 6th grade and the younger two are in 1st and 2nd grades. It was so encouraging to talk to them! It was one of those meetings where you're overwhelmed feeling like you can't do this even though you want to, and then, right across from you on a couch is someone telling you that they in some ways couldn't do it, but did. God is so awesome! The biggest take away for me from that meeting was, We COULD Do THIS! God can provide the funds (which they too needed help with and they gave us some ideas). God can provide the agency (they shared about the agency they used which opened the door to a search with smaller agencies that would have faster process times). And God does provide the children. It was cool to hear how God has made the Murphy's, all five of them, a family.
We could do this!
