All About Bryan & Asha

We are a vibrant, young Christian couple. Our journey has been filled with a lot of Disney adventures, culinary discoveries, and annual trips to Las Vegas and Palm Springs. Moving into our new townhome has been a blessing and is the foundation for our family. Our journey has also brought us major heartache in losing our unborn son and leading us to genetic testing. The rigors of genetic testing lead us to Adoption. We have been in the adoption process for almost a year now and we know in our hearts that this is the way to complete our family.

Why Adoption?

We chose adoption for multiple reasons. The first major reason is because Asha is adopted. Her mom and dad adopted her from India when she was just 3 months old. Her mom would later start an adoption agency and begin a lifelong passion for finding children in their forever homes. When we first met I told Asha that I had already considered adoption due to the fact that I wasn't married, I had a stable career and I was ready to start a family. From the very beginning of our relationship adoption was always at the forefront of our journey. This miscarriage Asha suffered 2 years ago really shaped our hearts and minds to become adoptive parents. We desire to be parents and have our forever family.

Family & Home

We live in a brand-new gated community in California. Our townhome has 2 beds / 2.5 baths. Our home is warm and cozy with modern furniture and photos of our families. It's always filled with smells of food cooking and music playing in the background. Our neighborhood is filled with couples in our age group and quite abundant children of all ages. During the summer the pool area is filled with families swimming and BBQing. The community also has a 24 hr gym, recreation room, and golf simulator. The office staff has activities every month for the community to engage with. The community is very safe and has 24-hour security.

How others describe me

Asha would describe me as caring, understanding, loving, and logical. She would say that our family is the most important thing in my life. I’m loyal and trustworthy. Bryan would describe Asha as loving, caring, compassionate, selfless, and wears her heart on her sleeve. She is empathetic and sensitive and loves our love story and cannot wait to fulfill her life’s dream of being a mom.

How We Met

We have been together for 3 years. Our love story is something very special and unique. Tragedy had to happen in Asha losing her parents for us to meet each other. She had to move out of her childhood home. We met through the dating app Bumble, we instantly matched and when we went on our first date 2 weeks later, sparks flew and we both knew we were each other's person. A few months later we got engaged and in the fall we got married through a community wedding at our church. All these life-changing events happened so very quickly for us because we knew we were meant for each other. If she hadn’t moved to a different area then we would have never been on the app. Destiny has been our life’s path and we live this every day.

Advice to Future Child

Be unapologetically you. Be open-minded with all of life’s paths. Be honest and reliable. Be open to love and never be afraid of failing.

Perspectives on Open Adoption

Our perspective on open adoption is open. We welcome this because we are ok with a mom wanting to see their child and be involved with them. This was not an easy topic when we first started our adoption journey but once we talked it through, in great length and frequency, we concluded that open adoption would be something we are willing to do.
