You decide whether you would like to let them adopt your baby.

We are here for you to help make the decision that best suits your needs.

Hello we are Matt and Jasmine. It is our pleasure to present ourselves, our family and our way of life to you. We foremost want to give a child a very secure, joyful, meaningful, and cheerful life. You have a very important decision to make and we respect and admire you for it. We are unable to have a child biologically and are happy to be moving from the pain of infertility to the joys becoming parents through adoption. We hope we get to meet you and give you the opportunity to get to know us better.

We met 9 years ago on a beautiful, tiny island of Bahrain in the Middle East . Matt was in the Navy working with computers. Jasmine was a Flight Attendant flying for Gulf Air. Even though we were both from different countries there was an instant attraction and bond. In 1999, after Matt served his duty with the Navy, he returned to California. Soon after, Jasmine left her work as a flight attendant to join Matt in the United States. We have been married for seven years.

We feel very fortunate to have each other. We faced many challenges early on in our relationship while building our careers and establishing our home, and feel that our mutual support helped us through that time. Our relationship is based on trust and patience and we value each other's opinions. We have fun together and are best friends.

We love to travel and our journeys together have taken us to Germany, Hawaii, Canada, India, Mexico and countless states. We prefer to do activities together. We live close to San Francisco and visit the local attractions and eat at unique restaurants. Going to the ocean is another treat we look forward to and we love taking pictures of the beautiful scenery. Watching movies on the weekend is another thing that we enjoy, as well as catching our favorite television shows like the Amazing Race and Lost. We also like having company over; Matt barbeques a delicious Tri Tip steak and Jasmine is famous for her chicken curry dish.

Jasmine
I grew up in Mumbai , India with my mother, father and younger brother. My mother is from England and my dad from India. They were just the best parents any child could ask for. We lived in a house that was on a beach and I loved to swim in the ocean. I also enjoyed running track, playing volleyball and painting. I have just one sibling but grew up with lots of cousins who are now spread around the world.

This gives us an opportunity to visit lots of fun places. Friends are important to me, and I have made many long lasting friendships, some of which span over 20 years (I am 37 years old). I especially enjoyed playing with and watching my brother who is ten years younger than me. I would often bring him down to show him to my friends, I was so proud of him. We are still a very close knit family.

I graduated college with a degree in Business Management. Since I was about ten years old, I had always dreamt of traveling around the world. I became a flight attendant so that I would have an opportunity to travel. My work brought me to countries of Europe, Africa, Australia and the Far East. After coming to the United States, I went to school to become a Graphics and Web Designer/Programmer. It was a huge career change, which I found exciting yet challenging. I currently work as a webmaster for a local government agency in the Bay Area. I love to cook and read. I enjoy being outdoors as well and enjoy hiking and gardening.

Both my parents are very supportive of our plans to adopt. My mother has told me that she can't wait to be a grandma, and plans to come over from India to help out with the baby. Adoption is not a new experience in my family. I have 2 older cousins who were adopted (one who lives in England and the other in India ). I am very close to them and they are like sisters to me. I am very lucky to have their support and to be able to talk to them about our decision to adopt.

Jasmine it definitely the nicest, warmest and most caring person I have ever met. I feel very privileged to be married to her. Having a family with Jasmine will be the pinnacle in my life. She seems to be a magnet for kids, as children always gravitates to her. She loves to read books to children and to give them plenty of warm attention. Jasmine is very excited to become a mother.

Matt
I grew up in Northern California with my mother, father and younger sister. We also lived right next door to my grandparents. My parents were childhood sweet hearts and were married for over 25 years. My dad was a deputy sheriff and my mom was a teacher. Later we moved to Red Bluff, California were he built houses with my grandfather. My parents love being grandparents and are thrilled with our adoption plans. My younger sister now lives in southern California with her husband and 3 year old son, Maxwell. Growing up, I liked hiking, playing sports and computers. One of my fondest childhood memories was going to Yellowstone National Park with my family, catching cut-throat trout out of Yellowstone Lake.

I received my degree in Management Information Systems from Chico State University. I currently work as a System Administrator for a government agency. I enjoy keeping up with technology. I like outdoor activities such as hiking and still enjoy sports, but I am now more of a fan. I enjoy going to Giants baseball games and watching football on television.

Jasmine on Matt
Matt is very honest, strong, and hardworking. He seems to excel at anything he sets his mind to. He is also a very kind hearted and generous person. He has provided me with love, security, and commitment over the years and was extremely supportive when I first came to the U.S.A. He made it easier for me to adapt to my new country, which wasn't easy because I left my family and was far from home. When we were first dating, Matt told me that he was setting aside a College fund for his future kid(s). I thought that was amazing because usually men save up for a car, but Matt was so different. That is when I knew this man would make a great dad and he would never let his kids down, no matter what. I love watching him play and wrestle on the floor with our nephew & other kids that visit us.

Our Family
We are both very family oriented people. Relationships and family are very important to us. Our family is large and our aunts, uncles and cousins live both nearby and are spread throughout the United States and abroad. Holidays are spent with family and close friends. A child will have lots of cousins to play with. Last year our family celebrated Matt's grandparents 60th wedding Anniversary with a cruise to Mexico, which included twenty seven family members. We also love to spend time at Matt's other Grandma's house for dinner and good conversations. All of our family has been extremely supportive and are excited about our adoption plans.

Our Home
We live in the very nice 4 bedroom home in a town just east of San Francisco called Fremont, California. The local Elementary school is a highly ranked school with exceptional performance. There are a lot of kids in our neighborhood. Our home is very close to a nice big park with a children's playground, basketball courts and a baseball diamond. Everyone in our community loves to take walks outside and talk to each other. We also feel fortunate to be close to the ocean and mountains.

We love our small talkative cockatiel bird, named Happy. We have taught him say words and whistle sounds. Happy is a very social bird, he likes to fly around the house and observes people. He also likes to look outside at the other birds. We put out a bird feeder to draw birds to our backyard for Happy to see.

Our Thoughts for the Future
We will raise a child with an attitude of “No Stone Unturned”, meaning we will do everything in our power to provide a child with the best life possible. We will go to the ends of the world to give a child love and stability. We were raised in families that were loving and supportive and we too will be devoted and nurturing to a child, through all the ups and downs. We will raise a child with strong values, with the intention that a child may grow up to become a loving, responsible, resourceful and resilient person.

We believe that it is very important for a child to learn and appreciate the world and care what happens to it. We hope to provide a child with the best of both the Western and Eastern values, which in turn will make him or her well round person.

We will honor and respect your relationship with your child. We will provide your child with the knowledge about his or her birth family and welcome future relationships with you, if you wish. We will never forget that you are the birth mother and treat you with the admiration you deserve. We believe that it is important to develop a relationship with you and to work together so that we can assure the best possible life for your child.

We hope this letter gives you a little insight to who we are. We are available to talk, meet and get to know each other.
