About Us

Welcome to The Murray Clan website. This website was created not only to keep our friendsand family updated on our ever so changing lives of growing our family through adoption but also as a way to educate and inform others of the many beautiful ways God works to grow wonderful families. So far God has chosen to grow our family through two very different and excitingprograms. First through Embryo Adoption and second through International Adoption. Neither more incredible than the other. Both of our adoptions are work of God's hands...His Perfect Planand Perfect Timing. We hope our story can help bring hope to those who experience the pain ofempty arms that long to hold a child.

Our Story
We met in 1987, Suzanne was 19 and Peter 21 and were married in 1989. Suzanne works as a nurse at hospital in the out patient surgery department and GI Lab and Peter works as a CPA for a local tax firm.We had talked about adoption before we were married because Suzanne had felt the "calling" to adopt when she was seventeen years old. We had agreed to adopt after having biological children..After years of trying to conceive, we discovered we were infertile. We immediately started looking into adoption agencies. In June of 1999, we went to an information seminar at Nightlight ChristianAdoption Agency and found information on their domestic, international and their newest program atthe time,"Snowflake". With the Snowflake program, or embryo adoption, we had the choice ofadopting unused frozen embryos that are left over when another couple goes through IVF. Thes embryos would normally be left in frozen orphanages indefinitely, donated to science (and thereforedestroyed), donated anonymously or thrown away. This adoption option would allow Suzanne to experience pregnancy. To learn more about this adoption click here.
