How to go
about it?
Adoption is a personal choice of the couple/ single male or a female. Adoption is the sensitive, emotional, and legal process in which children who are abandoned destitute not raised by their birth parents become a permanent member of another family (not related by blood). It is an extremely emotional experience. Adoption is a ray of hope for an innocent life; it is a unique process of connecting little lives to an appropriate family and giving them a secure home for the rest of their lives. It is equally a joyful and precious experience for the adoptive parents as well. Technically Adoption is a legal process by which a couple can become parents of a child to whom they are not related by blood. Since 2015, CARA ( Central Adoption Resource Authority) which is a Central Government authority, has issued new guidelines to simplify the entire adoption process. The process is mostly online making it more parent-friendly thus speeding up the entire process.
