Growing the Griners: Adoption

Griner Family

Shawn and Rachel Griner are a Christian couple working in healthcare with developmental needs and living in Oklahoma. Rachel grew up overseas. She had several adopted siblings and spent time volunteering in orphanages from a very early age. Those experiences grew her passion for children without a home. After receiving her Music Therapy degree, she began working with children with psychiatric and developmental needs. It was at this point in her journey that Rachel met her husband Shawn. He was raised in the American foster system himself and had both good and bad foster homes. He got to develop ideas about exactly what kind of home and family he wanted to have for his own family and kids one day. 

For fun, Shawn loves to fish, swim, hike, and spend time with family. Rachel loves to cook and bake for those around her, read Christian fiction, play board games, and make music. They are excited to learn all about their new family members' personalities and interests. 

Thank you for joining in our journey to bring the next Griner(s) home!
