To a very brave woman,

We are Suddha and Vishal. We live in San Ramon, California with our daughter, Rajvi. We cannot express the joy of becoming future adoptive parents in words. We have been together for over 20 years and always dreamt of adopting a child. We are unable to biologically expand our family, so we are very hopeful and excited to complete our family through adoption. You are helping us to fulfill our dream of raising another child. We are humbled to see the strength and courage that you have to take this step. We are eagerly waiting to meet with you and your child.

Our story began more than 20 years ago almost eight thousand miles away.

We met through a common friend and it was love at first sight for both of us! We tied the knot in 2016 with a grand Indian wedding lasting for about 5 days with almost 400 guests.

We came to the United States in 2009 and now live in beautiful California, surrounded by beaches, mountains, valleys and lakes. Vishal works as a software engineer and Suddha is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst by profession.

I grew up in India in a very big extended family with my grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins living in the same house as my parents and two sisters.

Each day seemed like a celebration with my family. My mother was a biology teacher and my father was in the Navy. From a very young age we learned to share everything we had with my cousins.

My parents always taught me to be kind and humble. My perfectionist husband always influences me to be better in anything I do. He encouraged me to get my second Masters in the United States and become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

My daughter has taught me how to love unconditionally. I am eternally grateful to my have my daughter by my side while I adopt a baby to fulfill my dream to have a family of 4.

People are first drawn to Suddha because she is fun and spontaneous.

Suddha's loving nature and her devotion to her family makes her unique. Suddha is one of those people who would go above and beyond to help people around her.

She is a great cook, she is trained in Indian classical music and is passionate about dancing.

I love that she notices the little things in life and turns them into moments of joy when I least expect it.

Suddha is an extremely thoughtful and caring person. She is always there for people with an open heart and a shoulder to cry on, and her openness has had a huge impact on who I am today.

I grew up in India with my parents and my older sister and younger brother.

My father used to work for the government and my mother was a homemaker. Due to the nature of my father's profession, we had to move from one state to another every 3-4 years. Adapting to new friends and new schools not only made us flexible but also taught us how to have fun with change. Vacations were typically spent climbing trees, picking fruits, hiking in the hills, playing outdoor games and cricket with my friends.

I graduated at the top of my class in high school and made lifelong friendships with all my classmates. They always come to visit me whenever they are in the Bay Area.

By profession I am a software engineer and work for one of the biggest IT companies in the world.

Vishal is the most intelligent, sincere, kind, honest and hardworking person I have ever known in my life.

He is the grounding and balancing factor in our lives. He is the best father our daughter could ever have. He is loved by all his family, colleagues and friends.

He really enjoys traveling so much that we end up taking 4-5 vacations every year. He lives by the principle "work hard, party harder."

In his free time he enjoys going on long walks with us along with our pet dog "Woofy," or swim in the pool.

He loves cooking Indian food at home and "chicken biriyani" is his favorite dish.

Rajvi is in seventh grade now and she is so excited to be a big sister. She plays piano and loves to go swimming in her free time. She also likes to take "Woofy" for long walks. She has traveled to more than 15 countries in the world with us.

We live in the beautiful gated lakeside community in San Ramon, California.

Our house is by the lake and golf course and our backyard is adorned with cherry blossom trees, lavender, rose bushes, dahlia and sunflower plants. Our community boasts of beautiful ducks, hummingbirds, butterflies, rabbits and deers. It's surrounded by beautiful hills and hiking trails.

We celebrate many festivities as a community. Some of these include New Years parties and the Indian festival of Holi and Diwali. There are five swimming pools, four tennis courts, and an elementary school all within walking distance from our house.

We share our home with a 6 year old maltipoo, "Woofy". He has a lot of energy and loves attention. He also likes to go on long walks with us. He can say "hi" with his paws and "dance" with his sister. He loves to play catch with his sister.

Our family is spread out, so it makes it fun to travel to see them!

One of Suddha's sisters lives in Sweden and the other one lives in Switzerland. Suddha's mother equally divides her time between her three daughters. Suddha also has 3 cousins and their families living in the Bay Area. They regularly meet with each other for celebrations of different festivals and the kid's birthday parties.

Vishal's elder sister and brother-in-law are among the top doctors in India. Their son plans to come to the US to study medicine to become a doctor. Vishal's brother lives with his wife and their 2-year-old son in Delhi where he works as an engineer.

Our friends in the US are like family. Both of us value our relationships with our loved ones and are very fortunate to have a number of close friends. With our friends we do cook outs, vacations, explore restaurants, host movie nights and above all spend hours hanging together.

We cannot say thank you enough for considering us as adoptive parents for your child. We understand that this is a difficult time for you, we admire you so much for considering adoption.

Our future child will know that they are adopted from the beginning and will know how much you loved them. We look forward to being parents and promise to love, support and give them the best future possible. Our future child will be our priority in everything. We will always encourage and support them in whatever they do.

Thank you for taking time to learn a bit about us and for giving us the opportunity to expand our family. You will forever have a special place in our hearts.
