George and Savitha's Profile

Hello! WE ARE

GEORGE DRAPEAU AND SAVITHA MOORTHY

from

HAYWARD, CALIFORNIA.

T

HANK YOU for taking some time to learn about us. We have talked about being parents from the time we began dating, and we are excited about growing our family. We can’t know what you are feeling right now, but please know that we are grateful to have the opportunity to fulfill our dream by adopting openly, as we want our child to grow up knowing his or her birthparents.

We can’t wait to meet you and welcome you into our family!

George and Savitha

OPEN HEARTS

e met online through Match.com. George’s dimpled smile that crinkles his eyes, and his warmth, apparent even through the words on the screen, caught Savitha’s eye. We wrote to each other for almost a month until we met for brunch. We have been inseparable ever since! Eighteen months later, we married in an outdoor ceremony surrounded by loved ones (and animals!) at a beautiful county park in California.

GOOFING OFF WITH ISABEL

our love has grown MEET MIJO, OUR KITTY THAT LOVES TO PLAY!

SO MUCH OVER THE YEARS, AND NOW WE ARE SO thrilled to share that

love with a child!

OUR COMMUNITY OF HAYWARD IS QUIET, DIVERSE, AND FRIENDLY — WE LOVE IT! Our neighbors are friends, and we often have group dinners and summer barbecues. Our next-door neighbors have two sons, aged four and two, who will be our child’s playmates.

The beach, the mountains, and the wonderful cities of the San Francisco Bay Area are only a short car ride away. Beautiful parks are close by too, and there is a gorgeous, wooded trail right outside our house.

WO R K IN G IN OUR GARDE N

THE KITCHEN IS AT THE HEART OF OUR HOUSE: we cook together, exchanging stories of our day, and we can imagine our child hanging out at the kitchen island, sharing this ritual with us. We just planted a vegetable garden, and we hope that caring for plants will be an activity the whole family can enjoy.

George grew up with pets and Savitha’s father was a veterinarian, so we envision a family with children and animals. We have two sweet, friendly cats now and we are hoping to add a dog to our family soon.

hen I tell people about Savitha, I can’t stop bragging about her — she is amazing! She is incredibly smart and creative, but too humble to tell you about it.

She makes me laugh all the time. When I see her with friends or family, I see how much love she has to give.

She remembers and cares about every detail of their lives; they all think she is truly special, as I do.

eorge is the most loving, compassionate person I know. I fell in love with his kind brown eyes, his warm sense of humor, and his insatiable desire to learn.

PLAYTIME AT THE PARK

Savitha lights up whenever she is with a child; she pours love into them and I can’t wait to see her be a mother.

He's a family man, and he loves spending time with the people who are dear to him. I love watching him when he’s around children.

Whether he’s reading a story, playing a game, or making up a silly song, George is always bringing a smile to their faces. He will make an excellent father – and I can't wait to hear our child call him “Dad!”

Family & Friends

O GEORGE’S MOM ELAINE AND SAVITHA EXPLORE!

ur loving, supportive family is delighted to welcome a new child. George’s mother is eager to share her love of gardening with our child and Savitha’s mother is looking forward to play dates in the park. George’s sister, Camille, our family’s baker, is thrilled about having a little helper for icing Christmas cookies, and Savitha’s brother and sister-in-law, Arun and Jessica, are planning their own kind of loving mischief, we’re sure! Many of our friends have young children.

We are both good with children, and we often babysit for our friends. We cannot wait to introduce our child to our multicultural, multilingual, fun family and friends.

love to do!

THINGS WE

B SAVITHA & ARUN, SMILING SIBLINGS

oth of us love to read. We imagine that our child’s life will be filled with books, and reading together is something we’ll do as a family. George is an accomplished musician. There is always a song or a beat playing inside his head, and he is looking forward to making noise together with our child. We love to travel—highlights include visiting Savitha’s family in India, snorkeling in Bali, a cruise “WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT to Alaska, dinner at the night markets of Taipei, and to the adventure of new hiking or running on our EXPERIENCES AS A FAMILY’ vacations.

WE HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU!
