Adopting A Child Without Cause...
|
The procedure of adoption:
Adoptions in India mainly take place through adoption agencies. The adoption agency will take a series of interviews of the prospective adoptive parents, relatives and even your friends, family physician or priest if deemed necessary. To ascertain whether you'll be able to give the child a loving and caring home the adoption agency will undertake a home study. Your home environment and the quality of your marriage will be carefully studied. You will be denied adoption if it's found that you have a dysfunctional home.
If found eligible for adoption, the social workers of the agency will choose a child who they think is suitable for you. Information like the age, health details and social background of the child will be shared with you before showing you a child. Instead of being taken to a nursery full of children the adoption agency will show you one child at a time.
Preparing your biological child to accept your adopted child...
You need to talk to your biological child before adopting. After all, he / she needs to whole-heartedly accept the adopted child as his / her own brother or sister. If your biological child is totally unprepared for this, he / she may feel resentful and jealous of this new family member giving rise to bitter sibling rivalry.
The importance of telling the child that he / she is adopted...
It is detrimental to withhold from the child that he/ she is adopted. Many couples unfortunately lack the courage to tell their adopted child the truth. If the child finds out from other sources that he / she is adopted he / she may feel extremely betrayed, undergo an identity crisis and frantically try to search for his / her birth parents.
Adoption is about loving. The cause for adoption can be the inability to birth children or simply the willingness to open one's heart to children who need loving. In either case, it is one of those rare situations that are win-win for everyone involved.
