Pratik & Megan

Jul 29, 2024

Hello!  We are Megan and Pratik.  Thank you for taking a moment to get to know us and
considering us as the adoptive family for your child.  We can’t imagine what this
experience might be like for you.  But we know that your decision comes from your love
for your child.  We hope to add to that love if you choose us.
We met in college and have been married for over 10 years.  And what a whirlwind of a
decade it has been!  During that decade, we lived in several places pursuing education
and career opportunities.  We finally chose to settle in Michigan and grow our family
here.

Megan grew up in Texas, and if you listen closely, you might catch a hint of her southern
twang!  She works as a nurse and is caring and compassionate.  She takes great pride
in providing her patients with the best care, treating each one with genuine compassion
and a personal touch. Ever since she became a nurse, she has always sought
opportunities to help underserved populations. That’s her true calling and brings her joy
and fulfillment. Megan loves listening to podcasts, audiobooks, and 90s music.
Pratik grew up in India.  He is a finance professor at a local university.  He is a funny,
goofy man who often tells you a few eye-roll-worthy dad jokes.  His students love his
animated lectures.  He is also driven and fiercely protective of his family and friends.
Pratik loves football (and pretty much any sport) and is a big fantasy football nerd.
After multiple fertility treatments, our son Kieran was born in December 2022, bringing
us so much joy.  Kieran is a firecracker of a toddler!  He is friendly, energetic, and loves
to laugh and play.  Even at a year old, he loved playing with other kids.  He likes
animals, books, and nursery rhymes. His sweetness and compassion are already
showing traits that will make him an amazing big brother!

As a family, we enjoy any activity that gets us outdoors. On weekends, it’s rare for us
not to be at a park, lake, or nature trail.  We also love traveling, and when in new
places, we often go off the beaten path to discover hidden gems and immerse ourselves
in local cultures. When at home, grilling, board games, and movie nights are our favorite
activities.

As parents, our role is to nurture our children and help them achieve their dreams.  We
promise a loving, supportive home where your child can thrive, with the encouragement
and resources they need.  We’ll always be open to your input and respect your comfort
level as we navigate this journey.

We are excited about the prospect of becoming part of your child’s life, celebrating the
special moments and the story that brought them to us.  We both have experience in
chosen/blended families and navigating different cultures.  We are committed to
embracing and honoring your child’s history and heritage as they grow into adulthood.
Thank you again, and we look forward to meeting you!
