About Nazanin (by Arash)

Nazanin is warm, funny, and full of life. She moved to the U.S. from Iran as a teenager and built a life from scratch with courage and strength. Now she works as a psychologist helping people heal and grow, and her kindness touches everyone she meets. She's also the aunt who shows up with books and games, and the one who tells silly bedtime stories with different voices. She loves being active, planning adventures, and reading novels with a cup of tea. She will be the kind of mom who listens, encourages, and celebrates every milestone—big or small.

About Arash (by Nazanin)

Arash is calm, thoughtful, and full of love. He works as a physician anesthesiologist and teaches younger doctors, but what he really shines at is being present. Whether he’s playing violin, making dinner, or running after our nieces and nephews in the yard, he brings joy and warmth to everything he does. Kids love him for his silly jokes and the way he gets down on the floor to play. I know he will be a wonderful father—steady, loving, and endlessly supportive.

Career & Family Life

Nazanin runs her own therapy practice and has a flexible schedule, which she plans to adjust to be home more once we welcome a child. Arash works at a large teaching hospital, and while he’s dedicated to his work, he always makes time for family. We both value balance and plan our lives around spending quality time together. We imagine weekday beach walks, Saturday Farmer’s market runs, and reading stories at bedtime. Our families live nearby and can’t wait to surround a child with love, stories, and plenty of hugs.

Our Home & Neighborhood

We live in a cozy beachside neighborhood in Los Angeles, just one block from the ocean and next to a kid-friendly park. Our home is filled with music, books, and little touches that reflect who we are—art from our travels, cozy corners for reading, and space for kids to play. The neighborhood is full of families, friendly faces, and fun community events. We often walk to the local farmers market, host lunch and dinner events, and love hearing kids playing outside. It’s a safe, joyful place where we dream of raising your child.

Our Hobbies & Fun Together

We love to travel, explore new places, and enjoy everyday moments. Whether it's a weekend road trip, a movie night at home, or a spontaneous trip to the beach, we believe in creating memories together. Nazanin enjoys yoga, hiking, and reading novels. Arash loves music, sports (go Lakers!), and long walks while listening to audiobooks. We can’t wait to include your child in all these moments — sharing sunset walks by the beach, cooking favorite family meals together, and telling silly bedtime stories.

What We Value

We believe in raising a child with empathy, confidence, and curiosity. Our values include kindness, honesty, education, and celebrating where you come from. We want to nurture your child’s unique identity while teaching them to respect others and believe in themselves. We hope to raise a child who feels proud of where they come from, excited to learn, and confident in their place in the world. We also cherish our diverse cultural heritage and look forward to sharing it through language, travel, and traditions.

Openness & Connection

We believe open adoption can be a beautiful part of a child’s story. If you feel comfortable, we would be honored to share photos, updates, and build a connection with you over time. We want your child to grow up knowing where they came from, hearing about you with warmth and pride. Our goal is to build a relationship that respects your wishes and supports your child’s sense of self.

Parenting & Our Dreams for a Child

We want to raise a child who feels safe to ask questions, explore, make mistakes, and always come home to love and comfort. We’ll be there for bedtime stories, scraped knees, first-day-of-school jitters, and teenage talks. We’ll help them discover what makes them special and cheer them on every step of the way. We imagine family dinners with laughter, dance parties in the kitchen, and quiet moments holding their hand. We’ll walk with them—always—with patience, encouragement, and unconditional love.

In Closing

Thank you again for spending time with our story. We know you’re making an incredibly personal and powerful decision. If you choose us, we will love your child deeply, honor your place in their life, and give them a home full of love, support, and joyful memories. We’re ready with open hearts, open arms, and a promise to love your child for exactly who they are—every single day.
