Matt and Donna Griggs never planned on becoming foster parents. But after caring for their nieces for nearly a decade, a single conversation changed everything. It opened their eyes to the world of treatment foster care and set them on an incredible journey.

Since getting licensed through Pressley Ridge in 2021, they've welcomed 16 children into their home, offering love, stability, and a place to belong. Their story is a powerful reminder that sometimes, the most fulfilling paths are the ones we never expected to take. 💪

We were proud to partner with Cayuga Centers Allegheny County and Greater Valley Community Services, Inc. to kick off National Adoption Month with a fun family day at Monroeville Mall. Kids enjoyed crafts and other activities with the princesses while our staff and community partners spread the word about the need for foster families.

Michael and Nick never imagined parenthood was in their future—until one phone call changed everything.

When their two-week-old niece Armina needed a safe, loving home, they didn't hesitate. They rearranged their lives, found new jobs, bought a safer car, and opened their hearts. Friends and family rallied around them with diapers, formula, and love.

Though Armina was briefly reunited with her birth parents, she returned to Michael and Nick in November 2022. With Pressley Ridge by their side—completing emergency recertification in just one day and providing constant support—they navigated the journey from kinship care to adoption.

On September 26, 2025, their family became official. ❤️

💙 Meet the Carpenter family! 💙
Troy and Christine Carpenter would say "maybe someday" when it came to expanding their family. When Christmas 2022 came around, they knew that "someday" was here.

After becoming certified treatment foster parents, they received a phone call—not about one child, but three.

“It was very scary,” Christine recalled. “But something just felt right.” Read the full story to see how this one phone call brought this family together: https://www.pressleyridge.org/stories/carpenter-family/
