About Us:

Hi there! We are Amy and Graham. Graham is a lawyer and Amy is a stay-at-home mom to our four-year-old daughter, Riley. We started dating over fifteen years ago while we were next-door neighbors as seniors in college at the University of Missouri. We have been married for more than 11 years and live in a cozy house in a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri.

In 2021, we adopted our daughter Riley as a newborn. She is now four and a half years old and attends preschool part-time. Riley is full of energy, hilarious, an ultimate foodie, loves to read, play with her friends and cousins, and go on adventures with us. We know that Riley will be the best big sister and will welcome a sibling with open arms and big hugs.

For the past several years, we have also been licensed foster parents. We have been blessed to have welcomed six little ones from many diverse backgrounds into our home since 2018, including two kiddos following Riley’s arrival. Being foster parents has been an incredible experience.

We have been incredibly blessed to have supportive and loving families who have shown us the importance of education, working hard, and giving back to our community. We think it’s extremely important to instill similar values in our children in a safe environment full of love and laughter. We are actively involved in our parish community, have a wonderful, inclusive school close to our home, and several family friends with young children in our neighborhood and beyond.

Our message to you:

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about us, and thank you for your courage in considering an adoption plan.

We want you to know that we are praying for you, and hoping for the best in life for you and your child. Since we began our lives together so many years ago, we have known we wanted to welcome children into our family through adoption. We were blessed to be chosen to parent our daughter through adoption when she was born in 2021, and are so excited about the possibility of adding another child to our family. We know that we have so much more love to give. Our goal as parents is to raise our children in love and security, giving them good examples of how to work hard, care for others, and respect all. We will also teach them (like our parents taught us) that family is more important than anything. We would welcome you into our home as part of our family and encourage you to be involved in the child’s life as much as possible.

You and your child are loved. We are grateful that you are reading our profile and hope you are able to find peace and love in whatever decision you make.
