INTRODUCTION

Hello there! We are Kriti and Amit

We are excited to grow our family through adoption and are humbled that you are willing to consider us in your life journey.

We cannot begin to imagine how difficult this choice may be for you, but please know that we would be there to support you through this process should you desire it. 

Our home would include a very large and diverse community of friends and family that are thrilled about our decision to adopt a baby. We are both working professionals who prioritize time with our loved ones and have a beautiful home in the San Francisco Bay Area currently occupied by us and our two sassy cats. We love to cook dinners together, travel the world on vacation, and enjoy going on adventures and hikes with our loved ones. 

about us

It was love at first swipe for us back in 2013.

 We both swiped right on Tinder and were each other’s first online dates! Kriti pretended to be a huge sports fan to entice Amit with her jersey pictures and then listened to Amit prattle on about his favorite teams at dinner, which made them both laugh as he realized that she knew nothing about sports. After many fun dates filled with laughter, cooking disasters, and adventures of Kriti’s lost keys and wallet, we finally made our relationship official and moved in together in 2014. Amit came up with an extremely elaborate proposal in December of that year where he surprised Kriti with a flight to Vegas and proposed in the Eiffel Tower Restaurant in the Paris Hotel – it was so romantic! We had a beautiful small wedding in San Francisco City Hall with our family in summer 2015 followed by a big fat Indian wedding during the holidays later that year. 

It’s been a whirlwind since then as we both started our professional careers, bought our first house, adopted our two fur-babies from the shelter, traveled the world, and now we are ready to start growing our family.

Why we’re passionate about adoption:

Kriti: I’ve wanted to adopt kids since I was 19 when I learned that my cousins are adopted

Amit: I taught soccer and English at an orphanage in Brazil in college and that’s when I opened my heart to adoption

we’d like you to meet our family

Our family is wild and full of love!

Cousins, nieces, and nephews are plentiful. Both sets of our parents live nearby, have been married for over 30 years, and have been patiently waiting for grandkids to spoil. Kriti’s parents are big teddy bears; her mom is a doctor and dad is an engineer. They were childhood enemies who fell in love in college and got married in India a few years before they immigrated to California. Amit’s dad is an engineer and his mom is an Indian classical dance teacher who made the house full of music and culture while raising Amit and his sister in the Bay Area. Both of our parents are very social and have large circles of friends, plus they are close with each other. 

Kriti has a younger brother who works as a product manager in SF. Since there is a 10-year age gap between them, Kriti is like a second mom to her brother; they are closer than ever since he lives nearby and loves to come play with the cats and beat Amit in his video games. Amit has a younger sister that he is also very close to and who followed in his footsteps to pursue a career in medicine. We have both helped our younger siblings get into college and graduate school and learn to support themselves. 

our home and community

We are so fortunate to be able to live in the sunny San Francisco Bay Area! We bought a beautiful, new 4-bedroom home and got to design the interior of our house from the ground up.

We love the open layout and all the windows that allow for lots of natural sunlight. We live near several parks, restaurants, and entertainment options for all ages (theme parks, theaters, museums, and zoos). Our home is a walking distance from elementary schools and we picked a great school district to settle down in to ensure our children will have access to an excellent education. 

Our community is diverse where people of all types of ethnic and religious backgrounds reside and we enjoy spending time with our neighbors who also have kids or are in the process of growing their families. Being in the Bay Area, we are fortunate to live just a short drive away from beaches, redwood forests, and snow-capped mountains that we love to explore. We have dozens of friends and family nearby that we see often and are excited to raise our children with them!

HEART TO HEART

We truly hope that if you do choose us, we can share a special and valued bond together if it aligns with your wishes.

We hope we gave you a glimpse into what our lives would look like with children.

Our promise is to provide a child with a safe and warm home where they will always feel loved and secure in knowing they can talk to us about anything. Our wish is for them to have a childhood they can look back fondly upon while living a rewarding life in good physical and emotional health. 

Regardless of your choice, please know that we sincerely wish you the best now and for all the years to come.
