Strides of Child Adoption
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Preventive Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Adoption is a way to give children the security, a sense of belonging and the unconditional love they need. Adoptive parents have permanent, legal parental rights and responsibilities to the children they adopt. Adoption is intended to effect a permanent change in status and as such requires societal recognition, either through legal or religious sanction. Adopting a child is not a easy procedure. To adopt a child, individual or couple have to understand the various steps and procedures which prevents many legal and ethical problems in future. Many of us are still not aware of what all has to be done before adopting a child or what are the measures to be taken by the prospective parents before they undergo the process of adoption. Adoption laws are common across India and must be distinguished from guidelines followed in adoption procedures, which do differ from one state to another.
