Greetings from Mississippi. We have been together for ten years and have been married for five. We live in a small, quiet town with our two dogs, Paisley and Joey. We have known since before we married that we wanted to adopt, and a few years after we got married, God placed a calling on our hearts to begin the process. We cannot wait to get to know you better as we walk this road together. We would love to speak with you about your hopes and dreams for your child.
About Us
We are both very outgoing people who love to keep a smile on each other’s face. We met when we were in our church’s worship band. Since then, leading worship together is still one of our favorite things to do as a couple. We also love to attend college sporting events together. Our first date was actually to a college baseball game, then Trevor proposed at the same stadium three years to the date of our first date. That stadium holds some of our favorite memories as a couple. When we aren’t spending time with family or attending sporting events, we love to hike. Trevor is a great “travel agent” and never fails to find fun places to hike complete with amazing views, waterfalls, and always a stop for ice cream on the way home. We truly can’t wait to have a child to share all of these adventures with.
More About Cassi
I have been a second-grade teacher for seven years. Working with children has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I have always had a passion for advocating for students with disabilities. In addition to being a teacher, I am also currently making final preparations to take my exam in hopes of becoming a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst.
When I am not working, I love to paint, spend time with our dogs, sing, and play board games with family and friends.
My Friends Describe Me As: Passionate, Caring, Gentle, and Goofy
Things I look forward to teaching my child: a love of reading, music, and whatever passion makes them happy, determination and what it looks like to work hard for something, and God’s love and how to build a relationship with Him.
More About Trevor
I have worked for a sports store for 14 years and am currently a Regional District Manager. I love my job because it allows me to meet, work with, and lead amazing people from across our region.
When I am not working, I enjoy playing guitar, cooking, watching documentaries, and attending sporting events with family and friends.
My Friends Describe Me As: Patient, Selfless, Hilarious, and Outgoing
Things I look forward to teaching my child: how much they are loved and how to be loving towards others.
Our Extended Family
The people that we love have shaped who we are, not only as individuals but also as a family. We have two dogs that we love to spend time with. Spending time with family and friends is one of our favorite things to do. Whether it’s game night, a good meal, movie night, an at-home tailgate, or just a quiet night in, we love being surrounded by the ones we love.
Cassi’s mom lives just around the corner, so she is always around when we need her. She cannot wait for her first grandchild and spend as much time with our child as possible. She is currently the director of the daycare that is housed at our church, so when the time comes, she will be with our child every day at daycare.
We are also very close to Trevor’s parents. His mom is a homemaker, so she will always be available to keep our child whenever needed. Trevor also has an older brother and younger sister that we love spending time with. Trevor’s brother has two children, our sweet niece and nephew. They cannot wait to meet their cousin and have lots of playdates.
In addition to our family, we have many close friends that have been very supportive of our hope to adopt and have helped us every step of the way.
Our Home in Mississippi
We live in a small town in Mississippi. Our town is always quiet and is often described by locals as a “Hallmark town.” We live in a three-bedroom home in a small neighborhood. Our neighborhood has lots of children and will be a great place for a child to grow up. We have a nursery ready and waiting for our sweet little one. It is complete with a closet full of gender-neutral clothes, many books, and stuffed animals and blankets that have been gifted to us by our friends and family. We also have a screened-in back porch where we often relax with guests. We have a large fenced-in backyard. During the beautiful Mississippi spring, it is perfect for throwing the frisbee, grilling, playing corn hole and horseshoes, and practicing t-ball with our nephew. It will also be the perfect place for a swing set, treehouse, and everything in between for our future child.
We also have two dogs that live in our home. Paisley is the most energetic and happy dog that you will ever meet. She does not meet a stranger and loves to play with anyone that comes by. Joey is smart beyond his years. He loves to play with the tennis ball in the back yard and lie on the couch with us while we watch sports.
Our Promise
We promise to love your child with everything we have and give our all each and every day to ensure that they are always safe, healthy, and loved. We promise to raise your child in the knowledge of the Lord and for them to always know that God has a specific plan for their life that has been written far before they were born. We, along with our family and friends, promise to love and support your child in every facet of life and to always be their biggest fan. We truly believe that every step that we have taken in life has brought us to this place so that we could become parents in this beautiful way. Should you choose us to become part of your story, we promise that your child will always know you and their adoption story. We truly believe that God writes a beautiful story through each family, and we cannot wait to become part of that story alongside you.
We’d love to talk or answer any of your questions. Please call or text Lifetime at 1.800.923.6784.

Our Faith
We are both Christians. We attend a local church; we actually met playing in our high school/college worship band. Ten years later, we still have a huge passion for sharing our love for Christ with others through music. It is in moments of true abandonment in worship that we feel the closest to the Lord as well as to each other. We enjoy studying the Bible with our friends during small group study each week as well as together during our family Bible studies. In addition to playing guitar in our sanctuary worship band, Trevor is a deacon at church and at times preaches when our pastor is out of town. In addition to leading worship on Sunday mornings, Cassi is a member of the choir, women's ministry, prayer ministry, and Operation Christmas Child committee.
Our faith is very important to us. We truly believe that God has called us to adopt, and we cannot wait to share all of the blessings that He has given us with our child.
A Weekend With Us
Friday night is always family night! Sometimes that looks like going out to eat with our extended family while other times it looks like just the two of us ordering take out and watching a movie at home. Friday night is always a time set aside to relax after the work week and spend time together. A typical Saturday consists of doing the weekly cleaning around the house, and depending on the time of year, attending a college football or baseball game or watching it at home. Sunday mornings always start with a breakfast of cinnamon rolls and bacon, a tradition started by both of our moms when we were kids. Then, it’s off to church for worship team practice, small group Sunday school, and church. After lunch at home then comes the all-important Sunday afternoon nap with the pups and preparing for the week ahead.
Things We Can't Wait to Share with Our Child
Since before we got married, we have known that we wanted to be parents. Over the last ten years, we have often discussed what we can't wait to share with a child. One thing we look forward to is quiet nights at home, laying on the couch as a family reading books and watching old school Disney movies. We are also both competitive when it comes to board games, so we can't wait to play Uno, Monopoly, Checkers, and every game in between. Family nights and at-home tailgates will also be a big part of our child's life. Going over to friends' houses and enjoying a good game and good food is a staple in our family. We also can't wait for family outings to places like the zoo and aquarium with our child. Our family has a cabin a few hours from our home; it has been passed down through 4 generations of fishing at the lake behind the cabin, ATV riding, and visits to the old fashion soda shop around the corner. Time with family there is something that we can't wait to share with our child.
In Closing
Thank you for taking time to get to know us. We would love to talk with you and get to know more about you. We truly honor your decision and would love to become part of the beautiful story that God is writing through you.
