The Host

On July 7th, 2007, Brady Murray’s life changed forever. Shortly after he and his wife, Andrea welcomed their newborn son into this world, the doctor informed Brady that his son had Down syndrome. Shock and fear overcame him as he tried to grasp what this diagnosis meant to his young family. 

Fast forward to today and Brady wouldn’t trade this life as a father raising a son with Down syndrome for anything. In fact, The Murrays have loved this special journey so much that they adopted their son Cooper, in 2016 from Tianjin, China. Cooper also has Down syndrome.

Brady is committed to transforming disabilities into special abilities. His mission in life is to give a voice and path to families raising children with disabilities and empower them to sing the song they are meant to sing. 

As part of this special journey, Brady and Andrea founded RODS Heroes, a non-profit dedicated to inspiring families to answer the call to adopt a child with Down syndrome or other unique circumstances. Since its inception, RODS Heroes has inspired thousands of families to consider opening their hearts to the miracle of adoption. 

Brady and Andrea Murray are the proud parents of eleven children. Seven of their children joined their family through adoption.
