We are Seher (pronounced “Sa-hair”) & Harris. We have been together since 2006, and are excited and grateful to be starting a family through adoption.

We look forward to providing a loving, safe, stable, and fun home and environment for our child, and to giving them the support and resources they need to thrive.

We believe our most important job as parents will be to help our child discover what the most fulfilling life is for them, and then supporting them at each step along the way in living that life – in finding whatever happiness and success means for them, in whatever identities they hold sacred, and with whomever they love and are loved by.

We are thankful to be able to raise our child with the love and support of family nearby and around the world, with the unwavering support of lifelong friends, and with the care and daily companionship of more recent friends and neighbors who have become our extended family. Our child will grow up surrounded by love in a close knit, community-oriented, diverse, tree-filled neighborhood in Philadelphia.

Finally, we want to say thank you and that we are thinking of you. We can’t imagine the courage and strength it takes to make the decisions you are facing, and we want to say we will always honor you.
