Adoption is the act of a person or couple becoming the lawful caretakers of a child who is not their biological offspring, with all of the same rights, privileges, and responsibilities that are attached to a biological child. Due to its irreversible nature, adoption should only be pursued when reunification attempts with the family of origin are not possible or deemed to be not in the best interest of the child. Adoption allows the child to have a stable and loving family.
Fundamental principles governing adoption in India:
- the child’s best interests shall be of paramount consideration while processing any adoption placement.
- Preference shall be given to place the child in adoption with Indian citizens, with due regard to the principle of placement of the child in his own socio-cultural environment, as far as possible.
