Adoption simple language me “kanooni tarike se bachcha apna banana” hai. Lekin yeh emotionally sensitive aur legally technical process hai. Different personal laws, plus secular frameworks, alag route create karte hain.
Common steps:
- Eligibility of adoptive parents – age, marital status, health, financial stability, sometimes religion-based criteria,
- Child status – orphan, surrendered, or relative’s child; sometimes consent of biological parents/guardians,
- Home study and counselling by agency,
- Matching, pre-adoption foster period,
- Final adoption order by competent court/authority,
- Birth certificate update, new name, records.
International adoptions me safeguards aur strict hote hain – trafficking prevention, country-level clearances, post-adoption follow-up.
Adoption ka effect yeh hota hai ki child legal heir ban jata hai adoptive parents ka, almost like biological child. Biological parents ke rights normally extinguish ho jate hain.
Process kabhi slow lag sakta hai, lekin yeh checks isi liye hain taaki child commoditised na ho, aur dono sides long-term commitment ke liye ready ho.
