One grows within some one,
And then grows without that some one,
Grows again with some one,
And that someone is a family!
-Adhira

President's Message

I am honored and pleased to assume the duties of President of Sudatta. I thank Anant Pai for the hard work he has done, especially over the past two years. I hope to make good use of the wisdom and experience he represents.

We in Sudatta have a lot going for us: Vast experience of our senior members, frequent meeting opportunities through workshops, sharing sessions, informal get-togethers, and a healthy bank account. This gives us the foundation to move forward in improving support to our members and our community at large. We have an eventful year planned ahead and I hope you all enjoy and benefit from these.

- Sundeep Kamath

“We’re expecting a baby!” a statement that brings smiles to the faces of the extended family. After all, that’s the news everyone is waiting for after the wedding day. All very well if one is pregnant. But what if that statement is actually expanded to mean, “We’re expecting to welcome a baby home”? Can you imagine telling your family that?!

One day my daughter at the age of 14 asked us herself if she was adopted..and with tears in our eyes, we admitted. She was so accepting.Though adoptive parents are encouraged to be open about the fact of adoption with their child, one particular couple never got around to it. The acceptance and love shown by their daughter is a lesson for all of us.

A young adult talks about how, growing up as a SuDatta child, she has found friendship, comfort and close bonding with other children.
...When I think from my heart… two beautifully combined words cross my mind… “Su” meaning “Good” and “Datta” meaning “Adoption”.

I was a preschooler when I was introduced to Sudatta and now the bond has become so strong it is family to me. I have always wondered how I would look like if I was a biological child of my parents.
