Alice H. Murray shares true stories of adoption and faith in new devotional “God Adopted Us First”

Adoption—a Beautiful Reflection of Divine Grace

BIRMINGHAM, AL — With warmth, candor, and 35 years of experience as an adoption attorney, Alice H. Murray invites readers into the heart of adoption in her powerful new book, God Adopted Us First. This unique devotional pairs poignant, true adoption stories with scripture, reflective questions, and practical steps for spiritual growth.

From laughter to tears, readers will discover how God’s fingerprints are all over the process of uniting families—and how adoption is a profound reflection of His divine love.

“Not only does Alice Murray give us a fascinating glimpse into the world of an adoption attorney, she speaks to the very heart of what it means to be adopted into the family of God,” says Annette Marie Griffin, adoptive mother and award-winning author.

Acclaimed author Lenora Worth adds, “I laughed and cried through most of these amazing stories that show us God is always in the details.”

God Adopted Us First is more than a book on adoption—it’s an invitation to see God’s grace in every chapter of life.
