Caz and Cassandra Goodman

Thank you so much for visiting our profile page. Just a little bit about Caz and I. We have known each other since we were 14 years old after attending the same high school in Miami, Florida. It was certainly not quite love at first sight..but pretty close. In the 10th grade, we were on a trip to Disney World and he kissed me during a game of truth or dare. You could say that was the start of it all. Over the years from high school to college, we always felt a connection and stayed in touch but did not formally date until after we graduated college. In July 2021, we celebrated 20 years of marriage and are so thankful for our amazing adventures thus far. We are best friends and genuinely enjoy spending time with each other on our weekly date nights, serving in church, traveling to new places or trying out foods from different cultures. We are very close to our respective families and a circle of close friends who have become like family. As a result, in our free time we enjoy double date nights, game nights with friends/family, spending time with our nieces/nephews, and countless godchildren and mentees. It has been a rich and rewarding experience for us that has not only benefited them but also equally blesses us. Early in our marriage, we learned that Cassandra suffered from a condition called Endometriosis that would make it difficult for us to naturally conceive a child. Despite the odds, we tried for almost 10 years to have a baby. Unfortunately, after two miscarriages and two failed IVF cycles, we were unable to have children of our own. While it has been a difficult process of grief and acceptance that this is what God has for us, we are excited about becoming parents through adoption. Our parents on both sides, church family and close circle of friends are extremely supportive of our decision to adopt. When we announced it, no one was surprised and many shed tears of joy because they felt we had so much to give as parents and wanted us to be able to experience that in this life. We are so grateful for the prayers, love and support we have received from them through the years in our journey to become parents and remain hopeful for what lies ahead.
