” When my birth parents abandoned me, my adoptive parents gave me a golden life”, the story of Tia Bhatia

Tia Bhatia’s story is one of beatitude. Read her story from an orphanage to an actress.

“Adoption: Where love builds a family, not biology. Giving a child a new life, one family at a time.”

Sometimes life does not give us what we want, but sometimes it surprises us with unexpected events and circumstances. These unexpected situations may be turning points. These surprises can be positive and bring us great joy and fulfilment.

Here is the story of Tia Bhatia, a public figure who leaves the Internet emotional with her journey from an orphanage to being an actress.

Tia was born in 1990 in Ambala, Punjab. Her birth parents abandoned her and then she spent the first four years of her life in an orphanage. Tia was highly malnourished. After then, she was shifted to an orphanage in Delhi. A couple based in Toronto, Canada changed Tia’s destiny forever.

Arvinder Bhatia and his wife Navdeep Bhatia got married in 1984 and moved to Canada thereafter. They always wanted a baby girl and their fortune brought them to the Delhi orphanage. Tia said in an interview, ” My mom saw me for the first time and decided to take me home. From being no one, I became a daughter of this beautiful couple and became a part of a big Punjabi family”.

But another hardship was waiting for Tia. Doctors discovered a hole in her heart. Her parents decided to stay in India for her check-up, as Canadian law required a healthy child for the visa. When her parents asked the orphanage about the hole for papers, the orphanage offered them to exchange the child. Her dad was stupefied after listening to this. “She is my daughter, not a product”.

After the successful surgery of Tia, the family moved to Toronto. Gradually, her health showed improvement. Her parents loved her more and more. When Tia was 6, her mother revealed the adoption to her. This made Tia feel grateful as her mom was open to her.
