HELLO THERE!
WE ARE
GRIFFIN & RIANNA
FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE
We are so grateful to have this opportunity!
We want to adopt a child because it feels like a right thing to do. Rianna has always wanted to adopt a child and Griffin agrees with growing our family via adoption. Our 4 year old biological daughter Book would also love to be a big sister and she is great with babies. We are all excited to grow our family through adoption. We considered different ways to complete our family and decided adoption is a great way for our family to grow and thrive.ABOUT GRIFFIN

Hi, my name is Griffin. I am 35 years old, a Dad of an amazing daughter and two adopted dogs. I met my wife Rianna on the beach in 2018. We married on Valentine’s Day in 2020. We live a blessed life in NH, which is where I was born and raised. We have a great home life and enjoy spending time together. My parents live 25 minutes away, also in NH, on 54 acres of land. I am very close to my parents and cherish my relationship with them. Being an only child was worthwhile, but I would love for our daughter to enjoy a sibling. My wife and I would like to have another child as well. I work in Insurance Sales and enjoy what I do.

Hi! My name is Rianna. I am 42 years old. I was born and raised in Boston, MA. In 2017 I moved to NH after I purchased a beach-front commercial property, and built a Yoga & Mindfulness studio on the beach. I have worked in banking for 20 years. I am Lebanese, Irish, Portuguese and British. I have a great husband and full life. Our daughter is the light of my life; my blessing. I have a 44 year old married brother and an 8 year old nephew, in CA. I have parents and family who are active in our lives. I have always wanted to adopt a child and want to have another child. I love animals, good food, yoga, mindfulness, walking and bike rides. I was vegan for 10 years and am now vegetarian.

Hi, this is Brook! She is a sweet kid with a kind, vibrant, and funny personality. Brook will be 4 in April 2023. She is a lucky kid who has 4 active grandparents, and 1 bonus grandfather. Rianna’s aunt (her Mother’s sister, Rita) watches Brook 4 days a week, at our home. Her Nonna (Griffin’s Mom, Bev) watches Brook 1 day a week at our home. Brook is healthy, active, social, smart, and empathetic. She will start attending pre-school 5 half days a week in fall 2024.
OUR PETS
MEET OUR PETS
We adopted Lexi as a puppy in 2022. She took a car ride from Georgia to live with us. She is a smart and very agile dog. She loves to play ball and is Brook’s best fur friend. Lexi has had formal training. Griffin adopted our other dog Leo as a puppy in 2018. Leo enjoys an acre of land to run around on. He loves people watching and sunbathing for long periods outside. Leo is the most well behaved dog we have ever had. Everyone loves him. While our dogs love being home with us, they also love visiting their grandparents house 25 minutes away. Griffin takes our dogs for long walks and they enjoy running around our acre of land.
OUR HOME & COMMUNITY
As we like to say, we purchased the ugliest home on the nicest street, in 2019. After our purchase, we renovated our house to make it our beautiful home. We are on a quiet street that ends in a cul-de-sac and is down the street from an awesome beach. We live across the street from a pond, and the end of our street has hiking trails. We are love where we live and are in the process of adding a 4 season sunroom and a first floor master to the back of our house, for Rianna’s Father Peter to move in. He is moving into our home 8/1/24. While we build his room off the first floo, we converted our old dinning room into a bedroom. He’s a great roommate who enjoys cleaning, and cooking.
