Title: Adoption in India : Difficult or not?

Adoption in India Difficult or not?

Its strange that as of 2016, only 1600 children
are available for adoption in India while more
than 7700 parents have applied for adoption
through Central Adoption Resource (CARA), a
designated nodal agency that coordinates the
entire adoption process in India.

Adoption in India Difficult or not?
  • Why am I surprised? Isnt this good news that
    more and more couples are coming forward to adopt
    a child? Yet, the sad truth goes far beyond these
    figures and statistics. If you ask around, you
    will find that parents are quite desperate to
    have their own biological child rather than adopt
    one adoption in India, is infact the last
    resource.

True Story of Adopting a baby In India
  • We spoke to Purnima from Gurugram, who adopted a
    baby girl nine years ago. Purnima had 3
    unsuccessful IVF attempts and like other women in
    her shoes was quite frustrated at that point
    because nothing seemed to be working in her
    favour. As a couple, Purnima and her husband
    decided that they had had enough and now they
    should give up any further attempts towards IVF.
    Perhaps, having a baby through IVF was not for
    them. At this point, they decided to adopt a
    baby, but family members pressurized them to give
    it a final try and not give up so easily. Purnima
    recalls how her husband was disheartened that she
    was taking in so much physical pain for every IVF
    cycle. As a couple, they felt helpless as they
    had no other go. And because her in-laws
    insisted, Purnima agreed to give one final
    tryjust once, not any more after that. And this
    time, she did conceive.

Good News At LastIs It?
  • Imagine their happiness when the doctor confirmed
    that Purnima was pregnant with twins. She thanked
    her in-laws who had pushed her into it and
    followed all the advice and rested enough because
    this pregnancy was definitely precious. But God
    had other plans, perhaps, because, in just 5
    months, she suffered a miscarriage. And that was
    it! Purnima recalls that though losing a child
    was traumatic, to say the least, she had made up
    her mind that she will not give up on her dreams
    of being a mother. On the fifth day after her
    miscarriage, the couple was on their way to the
    adoption centre to register for adoption. The
    desire to hold a child in her arms was so intense
    that Purnima did not wish to waste a single day.
    We all know the physical stress post a
    miscarriage, but Purnima refused to buckle under
    the weight.

Purnimas Advice to Parents In Adoption
  • Purnima regrets that she wasted 10 years before
    she made the best choice of her life. Aastha
    filled their lives with happiness and brightness
    and Purnimas only advice to parents struggling
    with infertility is not to spend too much time
    stressing out physically and mentally. Rather
    this energy can be channelized in caring for a
    new baby which is equally yours. Aastha is a
    wonderful kid, who respects her elders and
    everyone at home is happy to have her around,
    adds Purnima.
  • The only worry she has is, when and how she will
    disclose this secret to Aastha that they are not
    her biological parents. While this thought
    troubles her for a moment, she is quick to add
    that Aastha is mature and intelligent and will
    surely understand her parents.
