About Us

Orphans Song was founded by Martha Murray and Kim Dixon because of their mutual love and desire to help orphaned children.

Martha's Story:

From the time Martha was 10 years of age, she wanted to be a missionary. In 1999, Martha had the opportunity to travel to China to work in orphanages and care for orphaned children. While on this trip, a tiny orphan girl pulled at her pant leg and looked longingly up at her, as if to say, "Please, take me home." Martha never forgot that tiny girl and her pleading brown eyes. She prayed daily that the Lord would provide a way for her to go back to China, not only to help the orphan children, but to adopt an orphan child of her own.

Martha knew that no request is ever too small for the Lord. In 2002, the Lord provided the funding and the way to return to China so Martha and her husband could adopt their little daughter, Hannah.

Martha's story could have ended there, but she had a great love in her heart for China, the Chinese people, and for all orphaned children. She just had to help.

Martha has been involved as the China Coordinator for an adoption agency ever since. She helps to unite families with precious children who want and need a forever family. Since adopting Hannah, she has also made several trips to work in various orphanages to assist the nannies in various ways, such as, rocking the little babies and providing many needed supplies.

Kim's Story:

Kim and her husband, Daryl, have two teenage children. In their late forties they felt the Lord pulling at their hearts to adopt a little girl. One Sunday in 2006, they found themselves at the local library attending a meeting about international adoptions.

It was at this meeting, that Kim and her husband met Martha. It was as if the Lord had brought them together for just that moment in time. Martha began to tell them about a sweet, little 2-year-old orphan girl in China who needed a forever family. She showed them her picture; tears filled their eyes, and it was love at first sight. It is the miracle of falling in love with a picture of a child who lives half way around the world. Seven months later, Kim and her husband traveled to China to adopt their new daughter, Karly.

Karly has brought such joy to their home, that they will be traveling once again to China in 2008 to adopt another little girl.

Both Martha and Kim have a special love in their hearts for orphaned children who need love and a forever family. They believe that every child deserves a safe, clean place to live. Every child needs to feel the love of a family.
