Robin MOFFIT<br />
I was born in Dunlap, Tennessee. From as early as I can<br />
remember, I wanted to be a wife and mother. When I<br />
graduated from high school, I came to Mississippi to attend<br />
Wesley College. After college, I began my career in teaching<br />
for Rankin County Schools. As the time passed, I was caught<br />
up in teaching and still did not have a family of my own.<br />
God used this period in my life to teach me to be content.<br />
However, I still had the desire to do more. At this point,<br />
God put foster care on my heart. I didn’t even know a foster<br />
parent personally. I argued with God about my ability to<br />
foster because I was a single, working woman. In the end,<br />
I made myself available to God, and He worked out every tiny<br />
detail. In 2010, I became a licensed foster parent. Over a very<br />
long and sometimes painful journey, I have adopted five<br />
children from foster care. Then God placed a special man in<br />
my life. We were married in November of 2020. Terry not<br />
only became my partner, but a father to my five children.<br />
This past May, we were blessed once again with a baby girl<br />
being placed in our care. Now as a stay at home mom, the<br />
days are hectic and sometimes stressful. However, God has<br />
blessed me with a wonderful husband and six beautiful<br />
children, and for that I am so thankful.<br />
