Hello! We are John and Guru. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our family. We sincerely hope our profile gives you comfort and helps you on your path toward making the best decision for your child.

We have been together for five years and have built a solid relationship. We have always dreamed of building a strong and loving family of our own and eagerly look forward to welcoming a child into our hearts, home, and family.

We met in 2018 via a dating app. On our first date, we realized how much we had in common from family values, interests, goals, and aspirations to our dreams of becoming parents one day. While the initial few months of our relationship were long distance, with John in Massachusetts and Guru in Connecticut, it wasn't long before we took the leap to reside in the same city.

Guru found a job opportunity at a hospital in Boston in June 2019, and the move has been excellent, both personally and professionally. We have since bought a house together in a beautiful suburb of Boston and are blessed to be surrounded by supportive family and friends from diverse cultural backgrounds who are delighted about our adoption journey.

Over the last decade, we have both had the privilege of working in the healthcare field, trying to make our small contribution towards care and treatment for cancer patients.

We immensely respect you and your courageous decision to consider placing your child for adoption. We know that you want what is best for the child. No matter your decision, we wish you and the child the best in life.

Warmly,

John and Guru

John grew up in a Boston suburb as the oldest of three children. He was blessed to have loving support from family and friends and enjoyed an active and fulfilling childhood. John's family mantra is to treat others the way you would want to be treated.

Being a nurse for many years has made him a very patient, loving, and caring person. He also has the amazing ability to engage enthusiastically with kids in their playtime activities and is a favorite uncle to our friends' children. All of this would make him an excellent father!

He grew up doing a lot of housework - from plumbing to power washing to gardening and is a very hard-working and "handy" person. John enjoys going on long runs and has run the Boston Marathon twice!

Fun Facts About John:

• Loves good music and concerts.
• Very handy around the house.
• Hosting friends and friend's children.
• Avid runner and exercise enthusiast and has run the Boston marathon twice!!

Guru grew up in Bangalore, a city in southern India, in a loving family comprised of his parents and sister. Growing up in India meant he was surrounded by many family members like aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents; therefore, family plays a central part in his life.

Guru is a deeply caring, sensitive, and responsible person. He is very academically inclined and will be a great role model to the child. He has many such characteristics that will shine when raising a child. He has lived in many countries, which has made him worldly and very socially aware.

Guru is a great cook, a passion he inherited from his mother. He can whip out delicious Indian, Italian, Mediterranean, Mexican, and Thai meals. Guru is a natural caregiver, and I've witnessed him lovingly care for our dog, Hugo, who is now 14 years old.

Fun Facts About Guru:

• Outdoors enthusiast- loves hikes and walks in the nature!
• Passionate and great cook.
• Enjoys travelling and exploring different cultures.
• Working on cutting-edge research aimed at curing cancer.

We live in a beautiful town about 20 minutes outside of Boston. Our home is a four-bedroom Cape Cod with a fenced-in yard next to a ballpark and a children's playground. We come from two different cultures, and our home is a cosmopolitan melting pot of the best things of both our cultures.

We love our kitchen where we cook and enjoy foods from across the world. We hope to cook the child's favorite dishes there and teach them cooking if they are interested. Our kitchen island is a great hang-out space where we look forward to playing board games, enjoying many meals, doing homework etc. with the child.

Our town has an excellent school district and provides easy access to a number of activities to enjoy as a family including nature trails and hiking areas, museums, parks, sports and cultural venues etc. Our neighbors are very welcoming, friendly, diverse, and family-oriented. We also love hosting our friends and family for dinner and game nights and look forward to enjoying these with the child!

We are very close to our families and their support in this process has been immeasurable.

John's mother, sister (and her family), cousins, aunts, and uncles all live in the Greater Boston area under a 30-minute drive from our house. We have numerous family get-togethers to celebrate the holidays, birthdays, graduations, etc.

Guru's parents and his sister live in Bangalore, India. Despite living thousands of miles away, Guru stays very connected with them - they FaceTime several times a week, and John joins the calls over the weekends! A child we adopt will be their first grandchild, and they eagerly await to share their love and wisdom with the little one. They have their US visas ready and are excited to visit when the baby comes home.

We are confident that a child will feel loved and included in our big happy family. Having our close family and friends around for support is a huge plus. We look forward to having our child grow up around these important people in a loving and diverse environment.

We love to visit and experience new places, cultures, and foods! Both of us appreciate the beauty of the world around us and try to soak in as much as we can each year, whether it's around our home or in a far-off destination.

Recently we had the opportunity to visit Spain, Greece, and the Grand Canyon. We can't wait to travel with a child and make beautiful memories together!

In our free time, we like to exercise, hike with our dogs, host friends and family for meals and games, and go to the theater. We recently tried our hands at painting and immensely enjoyed it!

Our latest obsession has been spending time with our one-year-old nephew, Charlie. We jump at the opportunity to babysit him, play with him, and build memories together!

Having come from solid family backgrounds, we have always dreamed of building a strong and loving family of our own. We have a few adoptive parents in our close friend circle; we have witnessed the responsibility of being adoptive parents and the immense gratitude owed to the birth parent for bestowing such an incredible gift.

We vow that this child will be loved unconditionally by us and all our family members and friends from diverse cultural backgrounds. Through open or semi-open adoption (per your lead), we look forward to maintaining ongoing contact with you about the child via photos, visits, etc. We intend to allow the child to get to know you and learn about your background and culture.

This child will be raised in a multicultural family where they will learn that while people may look differently, think differently, or have different beliefs, we all deserve to be shown love, compassion, kindness, and acceptance.

We hope this profile gave you comfort, and we look forward to meeting you. Thank you again for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

John and Guru
