My neighborhood is a good place to raise a family because…

it's a newer community with a pool and we have several fun parks close by. There's a walking trail at the end of our street that we frequently take evening walks on.

If I could choose one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be:

Mexican

-Cassie

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

How big and how awesome God is and how small I am. A star filled night sky is one of my favorite things to look at

-Cassie

I'm super competitive when it comes to...

42. This is an old dominoes game that we play every time the extended family gets together. It can get rowdy!

My favorite place in the World is...

My hometown in Texas. My family arrived in the 1840s, and this area is beautiful. I learned to be a steward of the land from my grandfather on the ranch and look forward to sharing that with our kids.

-Matt

We are the best choice because…

We are a loving and stable family and have always wanted a lot of children. Having another little one in our home to raise up in God's ways will be a great joy and an honor.

-Cassie

In five years our relationship with our child’s birth mother will…

Be whatever you want it to be. Our kids will always know they were adopted, and we're open to them getting to know you in an age appropriate way for their entire lives.

-Matt

Three years from now, I hope our child’s birth mom is…

in a place where she feels loved and valued for the courageous woman she is.

-Cassie

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

Yes. I believe God places us all here for a purpose, and that he's given us his Word to guide us when the path seems murky.

-Matt

My favorite place in the World is...

anywhere with my family.

-Cassie

Favorite season and why?

Summer. I love the warmer weather and going to the beach and doing things together outdoors. Christmas is my favorite holiday with all the lights and family time together

-Cassie

Christmas time is our favorite time of year. We love to drive around and look at all the lights and listen to the music.

My philosophy on parenting is...

To love our children unconditionally and to encourage them in their god given strengths. When wrong, we seek to lovingly correct, while still allowing them to make their own choices.

-Cassie

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

How small we are. I think God created the vastness of the universe to tell us how big He is.

-Matt

Favorite season and why?

Fall. In Texas it starts to cool off, the days are still reasonably long, and hunting season gets rolling. An awesome time to be outdoors and enjoy the ranch.

-Matt

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

Sailboat for sure. The world is so big, I wouldn't want to be tied down to any one continent.

-Matt

We spend a lot of our weekends on Matt's family ranch. The sunsets out there are beautiful.

If you had to pick a famous person to play you in a movie, who would it be?

-Cassie

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

RV. It would be fun to travel cross country and see the sights. So much to see!

-Cassie

Dogs or cats?

-Matt

Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

Yes. I love the Lord and desire to follow Him in all I do. I look forward to raising another little one in His ways, learning Bible verses together in fun ways and through music.

-Cassie

What is the best word to describe our family?

Fun loving

-Cassie

Sidney has a goofy and fun loving personality. He loves going on outdoor adventures and will be amazing at showing another brother or sister all that nature has to offer.
