Lu and Shalini
We're looking to adopt a baby
Hello, we are Lu and Shalini. Thank you for choosing to learn about us as prospective parents to your child.
We can’t imagine the weight of the decisions you’re trying to make at this moment. As you consider the various options for your child, we’re grateful that something about us has grabbed your attention enough to consider our profile. We considered and tried many different options for growing our family, but when nothing worked, we realized that shared biology wasn’t necessary for our ideal family, and we chose adoption. Since then, we’ve adopted our first child, Amir, and now we want to do it again as we grow our family.
The fact that you’re considering adoption for your child is a testament to your love for them and an immensely caring plan. Thank you for that, and for taking the time to learn about us as potential adoptive parents for your child.
