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

SuDatta Bangalore is the most vibrant support group of adoptive families and it has grown in leaps and bounds in the last 12 years. Reassurance, having the opportunity to share experiences and to receive helpful suggestions is what SuDatta is all about.

My personal experiences have taught me how important it is to be a part of SuDatta as it has kept me well informed. SuDatta's role is more supportive and empowering than what other stakeholders in adoption could possibly do. Hence we need to sustain the momentum as this enables us to individually and collectively accelerate our learning on adoptive parenthood.

- Saraswati Srinath

Sudatta is an adoptive parents association which aims to bring adoptive families closer and support intending adoptive parents

“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”.
