Waiting Stage
How long to wait?
Like in the biological process, couples may have to wait upto 9/10
months to get a child home. Many are lucky to get a child within 3 to
6 months.
Can we take home a just-born from
a hospital near our house
(the birth parents & the doctors are willing)
Be determined to go in only for legal adoptions - after all it is
better in the interest of the child to do anything the right way. The
birth mother has legal rights to claim back the child until the child
is 3 months old. Even if the birth parents and the doctors were willing
you would be venturing into inviting the dangers related to private
secret adoptions.
Will it be possible to get a Brahmin
child?
A child is a child. Religion is an attachment. Couples have to imbibe
the fact that adoption is a non-religious concept. It not, please do
not consider adoption - a child would be saved!
We are worried about the inherited
characteristics of the child.
Heredity determines the physical characteristics of the child while
the personality characteristics are a result of nurturing. Parents have
to shift the focus from inherited intelligence to environmental stimulation
and synthetic intelligence.
