dear expectant mother
Thank you for reading about us and giving your time to know us better.
Firstly, we want you to know that we would be forever grateful and respectful to you for making this courageous decision of your life. If it isn’t for your generous thoughts, we would never be able to fulfill the dream of having a family. We are deeply moved by your kind and selfless decision of adoption. Secondly, we understand this probably is the hardest decision of your life since it’s never easy to see for someone else to have a piece of your heart. For this reason, we would like to make a few promises to you if we get blessed to be chosen by you. We promise that your child will be raised with love and respect, with great family values, and unlimited opportunities.
Our desire of filling our house with cries of your baby, laughter and mischief of the kid around us, occupying all the empty spaces of our house with toys and books, and becoming a parent to raise a responsible, humble human being will be a lifetime wish granted by you. So here we are hopeful adoptive parents searching for the missing piece to our family, a precious child, who will be the power of our lives to erase that emptiness of our house and our hearts.
Lastly, from a Parent to Parent- we promise to make this piece of your heart as part of our hearts forever!!
Sincerely thanking you for considering us.
About Us
We are two simple and respectful individuals with successful professional careers. Neelima is an occupational therapist with a master’s in healthcare administration, and Pratik is a senior software engineer at an IT company. We both come from highly respected Hindu families in India. We consider ourselves to be a perfect blend of traditions and modernization. We both enjoy the outdoors and are foodies at heart, so traveling and cooking are some of our hobbies. We are very easy-going and friendly people, so we have made innumerable friends who have become a family to us in the last decade we’ve lived here. Regardless of our professional careers and busy lives, we love hanging out with each other, our pet, our friends, and our families on a daily basis.
Our Home & Pets
We live in a townhouse community in the suburbs in Illinois. Our house is spacious, has all the newer amenities, and has a modern look to it. The schools are less than two miles from our house, and one of the biggest public libraries in Illinois is in our community. We love our backyard as it’s the most used space during summers and at other times serves as a play area for our dog, Ziggy. We adopted Ziggy in July 2019 when she was five months old, and since then, she has changed our lives completely. She is always playful, loves the outdoors and kids, and gets invited to kids’ parties in the community.
Our Extended Family
Culturally speaking, families are everything for us. Neelima’s family is huge and includes her mom, dad, three brothers, three sisters-in-law, three nieces, and many cousins. Pratik’s family consists of him and his mother along with a big extended family of cousins and their kids. Our families live in different parts of the world, but we are very grateful to be born in the era where technology can connect us with our families from thousands of miles away.
We enjoy celebrating most of our festivals, which have spiritual and religious beliefs attached to them. Festivals make families come together and bind everyone together. We cannot wait to pass on these beliefs, traditions, and cultural values to our kids. Everyone in our family has been eagerly waiting for us to grow our clan and make all of them uncles, aunts, grandpas and grandmas. We are very excited to be on this journey to grow our family!
What Led Us To Adoption
We recognize this journey of ours as life teaching us how to live every moment. Simply put, with our love and support for each other, we can jump through the hoops and hurdles of life with smiles all the way. We met each other 15 years ago and have been married for the last eight years, with infertility struggles for the last six years. However, we have always dreamed of having a family of our own, so we are looking forward to growing our family and fulfilling our dream.

Choose a Family for
Your Baby With Confidence
As you browse our list of hopeful adoptive parents, you can feel confident in knowing that all of the adoptive families working with Angel Adoption are prepared to offer your baby a safe, stable, and loving environment along with a wealth of opportunities for a happy and fulfilling life.
Each adoptive parent has been thoroughly evaluated through a home study course conducted by a licensed agency. A completed home study means the family is emotionally, physically, and financially ready to adopt a baby.
The home study process includes assessments of each parent’s character, marital stability, financial situation, lifestyle, and medical history. The agency also runs background checks to verify there is no record of criminal activity or child abuse. In addition, a social worker will inspect the family’s home to ensure it is a safe environment for a child.
Furthermore, Angel Adoption requires each family to be educated on adopting and parenting. After a baby has been placed with the adoptive family, a social worker will continue to monitor and supervise the family. We go to great lengths to make sure all the families you have to choose from are going to be excellent parents for your baby!
