In our free time, we love being around people and making the most of everyday moments. Traveling is one of our biggest shared passions. We enjoy exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and making memories through time spent together. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a bigger trip, travel is something that brings us a lot of joy.

At home, we love hosting. Dinner parties and game nights with friends and family are some of our favorite ways to connect. We enjoy creating a welcoming space where people can relax, laugh, and feel at home. Community is really important to us, and we try to be intentional about nurturing those relationships.

We also enjoy simple routines that make life feel full. Weekend walks to the local donut shop have become a favorite tradition and we love being out and about in our neighborhood. We enjoy participating in local events and staying involved in our community.

Our goal is to create an environment where each child feels seen, encouraged, and able to grow in the areas where their strengths naturally shine. We want to hold space for who they are as individuals and support their learning in a way that builds confidence and curiosity.

The preschool our children would attend focuses on learning through play, creativity, and exploration, which we believe gives them a joyful and meaningful start. As they grow, they will attend a public elementary school with a dual-language program, something we appreciate because it encourages academic development while fostering cultural awareness and communication skills.

We are thoughtful about the communities we choose to live in and prioritize areas with strong, supportive schools. Beyond academics, we hope to nurture curiosity by exposing our children to a variety of interests, activities, and potential career paths as they grow.

One of our greatest strengths as individuals is how differently we are wired in ways that complement each other beautifully. We bring unique personalities and perspectives into our family, and together that creates a steady, well-rounded foundation.

Allie is naturally nurturing, thoughtful, and steady. She brings calm into everyday life and has a gift for creating routines and spaces where people feel safe and cared for. She is very attentive and emotionally aware, often noticing the small details that help others feel known and supported. Her quiet strength shows up in consistency, patience, and the ability to handle life’s day-to-day rhythms with care.

Trevor is outgoing, energetic, and future-focused. He brings warmth and enthusiasm into every room and has a natural ability to make people feel welcome and included. He is a big-picture thinker who loves planning, dreaming, and bringing ideas to life. His optimism and sense of humor bring lightness and joy to our home.

Individually, we each bring strengths that shape how we show up in relationships. Together, those differences allow us to support one another and create a home that is both steady and joyful. We believe those complementary strengths will help us be thoughtful, balanced parents.

We live in the Rice Military neighborhood of Houston, Texas, in a location that feels both peaceful and well connected. Our home sits right next to Memorial Park, which offers expansive walking trails and green space that are perfect for daily walks, stroller outings, and spending time outdoors as a family. An elementary school is located along the outer edge of the park, making the area feel especially family-centered and easy to imagine as a place where a child can grow, learn, and feel rooted. Families are often out walking and enjoying the outdoors, creating a welcoming and supportive environment.

A short walk from our home, a few blocks away, is a neighborhood park filled with children playing, riding bikes, and families spending time together. This park hosts Soccer Shots, a youth soccer program we would love to enroll a child in. The park also features a community garden where volunteers can work together, providing a fun and meaningful way for children and families to connect with the neighborhood.

Our home is a three-story house with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, with the main living area on the second floor. The second floor is our favorite space to cook, relax, and gather with family and friends. Right behind our home, the shared driveway area gives children a safe, low-traffic place to play and spend time outdoors.

We have a large support system with our extended family, and they are an important part of our lives. Trevor’s parents and his mom’s siblings live close by, and we see them almost every week. Most weekends, we get together for lunch, where Russell (Trevor’s dad) often grills for everyone. We spend time playing cards, sitting outside, and enjoying each other’s company. One of our favorite family traditions is vacationing in Hawaii together. We also love visiting Uncle Bubba’s ranch, helping with chores, and feeding the cows. These hands-on experiences always bring lots of laughter and stories.

Allie’s sister and brother-in-law also live nearby, so we spend many weekends together. They often join us for BBQs at Trevor’s parents’ house and come over to our house on Sundays to cook, meal prep for the week, and hang out. We also travel to Louisiana to visit Allie’s mom, step-dad, stepsiblings, and nieces. Going to LSU football games has become a fun tradition, cheering on the Tigers, tailgating, and soaking up the stadium energy always makes the trips memorable.

Our families are incredibly supportive of our adoption journey. They are eager to welcome a child into our lives and excited to share their love, laughter, and traditions. From casual card games to big vacations, our extended family creates a warm, welcoming environment that will surround this child with joy and belonging.

First, thank you for taking the time to read this. We can only imagine the mix of emotions you may be carrying right now. We want you to know that we see your courage and the deep love behind even considering adoption. Whatever path you choose, we hope you feel surrounded by compassion and respect.

My name is Allie, and I am writing this alongside my husband, Trevor. We have been together for many years and married for five. Our relationship is rooted in love, loyalty, and a strong sense of partnership. We balance each other in ways that make our life feel steady and joyful. I am naturally quiet and reserved; someone who finds comfort in routines and taking care of the day-to-day rhythms of life. Trevor is the opposite in the best way; outgoing, warm, and full of energy. He is the one who dreams big and plans for the future, always thinking about what’s ahead and how to make life meaningful and fun. Together, we create a home that feels both calm and full of life.

Growing our family has been on our hearts for a long time. We have always imagined raising children in a home where they feel safe, deeply loved, and truly known. Our home is full of laughter, meaningful traditions, and a strong circle of family and friends who are excited to welcome a child with open arms. We believe family is built through love, intention, and showing up every single day, and we are ready to pour ourselves into that role.

If you choose us, your child will grow up knowing how loved they are, not just by us, but by you. We believe your story is an important part of their life, and we will always speak about you with respect and gratitude. We want the child to grow up understanding the love that brought them into this world and the strength it took to make this decision.

We are committed to sending letters and pictures so you can watch the child grow and know how they are doing. We are also open to more communication if that feels right to you, such as emails or text messages. We understand that every situation is unique, and we want to build a level of connection that feels comfortable and healthy for everyone involved. Our goal is always to honor your role while keeping the child’s well-being at the center.

In our home, childhood will be filled with simple joys and meaningful moments like bedtime stories, weekend morning walks to the donut shop, holidays full of traditions, and everyday laughter. Trevor’s love for planning means there will always be adventures to look forward to, whether that’s family trips, new experiences, or fun surprises along the way. I look forward to being a steady presence, making our home feel warm, consistent, and safe.

More than anything, we want you to know that we approach this journey with humility and gratitude. We know adoption begins with loss, and we will never take your trust lightly. If you choose us, we promise to love the child with our whole hearts. We will nurture them, protect them, and guide them as they grow into the person they are meant to be.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about us and for considering our family. We are holding you in our hearts and wishing you peace and clarity as you make the decision that is right for you and the child.

With love and respect,

Trevor & Allie
