Rain in the Desert, Blessing in the Family | Phoenix News

A desert rainstorm in Phoenix becomes the unexpected backdrop for a heartwarming adoption story—Grady and Erin, waiting for their son Matthias, get interviewed on the street, unaware that moment will become part of his birth announcement. Named “gift of God,” Matthias arrives after a week’s wait, then heads home to Missouri to meet his older sister Ruby, who’s already smitten. Their journey was made possible by organizations like Sacred Selections and Building Arizona Families. Grady sees the rain—and their son—as divine blessings, urging others to consider adoption. It’s a beautiful reminder: sometimes, the most profound moments begin with the least expected things. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
