It took five years, but two young sisters from India, now reside in Newtown with adoptive parents Ashni “Baba” Kumar and Priya Trivedi.

The sisters, Arya and Riya are 18 months apart in age. Priya states there’s no formal, organized foster care system for youths in India. After she took custody of them during 2020, she says she took turns with her mother and sister as caretakers of them physically in India, based from a rented apartment. That level of care meant many trips back and forth between the two continents, and Ashni also stayed with them for two months in India.

After exhaustive gathering of documents and navigating protocols in India, one day before Mother’s Day, Priya says she was told her entire file of records was rejected by Indian officials, with no reasons cited. “I had to hire two different attorneys. Eventually, our entire years’ of work had to be redone all in three months,” she states.
Finally, her tenacity and determination came to fruition. “The day after this past Christmas, I got an email from a US Embassy representative that the adoptions had been officially approved. It was the best Christmas present ever in my whole life!” she smiles.

However, even that positive news took five more months of intense effort, given that the sisters’ birth certificates and new passports needed to be taken care of.

These adoption-related setbacks over such an extended period took their toll on Priya and Ashni’s restaurant business. They currently are attempting to reorganize their restaurant operations and get back to typical lives of hard work, family plans and education for their daughters.

Chef Ashni “Baba” Kumar and Priya Trivedi own Guru’s Indian Cuisine in Newtown currently as a “takeout only” operation. While 203 N. Sycamore Street had been their location for 10 years, Priya says it became increasingly difficult to secure refinancing needed to maintain that physical location. They’re pursuing new financing.
