ABOUT OUR FAMILY:
Both of us are very fond of children, and always wanted a big family. This amazing journey of parenthood began for us in December 2020 when a birth mother chose us to be the parents of our baby girl, whom we named Kiara meaning God’s gracious gift. We are excited to expand our family and for our kids to become each other’s support system for life.
Kiara is a strong, happy, and an energetic little human. She loves reading books, enjoys the outdoors, does pretend play and is fond of animals. She brings joy to everyone she meets and makes them fall in love with her. She attends daycare full-time on weekdays and enjoys her time there. Some of the feedback from the daycare is that she is very caring and shows empathy.
Karthik as a dad (by Sneha): Karthik enjoys the time spent with Kiara and loves seeing her excitement in discovering the world. He is a caring father and frequently reads to her, gives her baths, attends parent/toddler dance classes with her and plays with her. He believes in establishing a routine and structure in her daily life.
Sneha as a mom (by Karthik): Sneha loves seeing the world through Kiara's eyes. She encourages independence, curiosity, and adventurous side. Being an organized person, Sneha can maintain consistency in Kiara's life. Sneha enjoys taking Kiara on walks, parks, playing on slides and swings, reading to her, and dressing her up.

OUR HOME & COMMUNITY:
A typical weekday evening is spent in bath time, dinner, pretend play, reading, going to park or play areas, playing with grandma, talking to grandparents in India. On weekends, we plan longer family time activities like visiting petting farms, aquarium, science world or meeting up with friends.
Our immediate support system are our close friends who are like an extended family to us. In 2022, we met our close families in Seattle, San Francisco and India.

OPENNESS:
We are comfortable with all levels of openness.
We would love to have good relations with the birth family and want the child to know their biological family. However, we respect your wishes and will follow your lead on openness.
