Why is it so hard to adopt a child in India, even with such a great must-have!?

India, Low Child Adoption Rate
Share on FacebookShare on X

Adopting a child is a life-altering decision, one filled with hope, anticipation, and dreams of expanding a family. However, in India, the journey towards adoption is often riddled with complexities and obstacles, leaving many prospective parents in a state of limbo despite the pressing need for loving homes for thousands of orphaned or abandoned children. While the demand for adoption is high, the process remains arduous, raising pertinent questions about the barriers preventing the realization of these aspirations.

The Mismatch Between Demand and Supply

In India, there exists a glaring disparity between the number of children in need of loving homes and the availability of legally adoptable children. Despite the presence of thousands of children residing in Child Care Institutions (CCIs), the pool of children legally available for adoption remains disproportionately low. This incongruity is evident in the statistics from the year 2020-21, where only a fraction of children from CCIs were placed for adoption. This dissonance underscores a significant gap between the demand for adoption and the actual supply of adoptable children, presenting a formidable challenge for prospective parents seeking to expand their families through adoption.

Lengthy and Rigorous Adoption Procedures

Embarking on the journey of adoption in India entails navigating a labyrinthine process fraught with bureaucratic hurdles and extensive procedural requirements. From the initial identification of a suitable child to the eventual welcoming of that child into one’s home, prospective parents encounter a series of challenges and complexities that can be emotionally exhausting and mentally draining. The adoption process often entails interminable waiting periods, with prospective parents grappling with uncertainty and frustration as they await updates and progress reports.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated the already arduous adoption procedures, leading to additional delays and complications at every step of the process. Restrictions on movement, reduced staffing at adoption agencies, and logistical constraints hindered the timely completion of necessary paperwork, home studies, and other essential tasks. As a result, the adoption process became prolonged and fraught with uncertainties, amplifying the emotional toll on prospective parents and exacerbating their sense of disillusionment and despair.

Systemic Issues Undermining Adoption

The adoption landscape in India is marred by systemic issues that impede the timely placement of children into loving homes. These issues contribute to children languishing in Child Care Institutions (CCIs) for extended periods, exacerbating the challenges faced by prospective parents seeking to adopt. 

Inadequate Regulation of CCIs

Child Care Institutions in India often operate without sufficient regulatory oversight, leading to varying standards of care and conditions for children. The lack of stringent regulation allows for lapses in child protection measures and compromises the well-being of children residing in these institutions. Without proper oversight, children may remain in CCIs for prolonged periods without avenues for adoption or family reunification.

Lax Enforcement of Adoption-linked Protocols

Delays in completing necessary paperwork and procedural formalities hinder the timely declaration of children as legally free for adoption. Administrative bottlenecks, bureaucratic red tape, and inefficiencies in the adoption process contribute to prolonged waiting periods for prospective parents. Additionally, inconsistencies in the enforcement of adoption-linked protocols further exacerbate delays, prolonging the transition of children from institutional care to permanent families.

Challenges Faced by Specific Categories of Children

Certain categories of children, such as older children, siblings, and those with disabilities, encounter additional hurdles in finding suitable adoptive homes. Societal biases, misconceptions, and preferences for younger, non-disabled children often result in these vulnerable groups facing prolonged waits for adoption placement. Older children and siblings, in particular, may struggle to find families willing to adopt them together, further complicating their adoption prospects.

Addressing systemic issues undermining adoption requires comprehensive reforms aimed at strengthening regulatory mechanisms, streamlining adoption procedures, and promoting inclusivity and acceptance of diverse adoptive placements. By prioritizing the well-being and best interests of children, and by fostering a supportive environment for prospective adoptive parents, India can work towards ensuring timely and successful adoption placements, thereby providing every child with the opportunity for a loving and permanent family.

Sociocultural Stigma and Prejudices

In India, deeply ingrained societal beliefs and prejudices surrounding caste, class, and genetics pose significant barriers to the acceptance of adoption as a viable family-building option. These sociocultural stigmas contribute to reluctance and apprehension towards adoption, perpetuating misconceptions and hindering the adoption process. Key factors contributing to these stigmas include

Caste and Class Dynamics

India’s caste-based society often perpetuates notions of lineage and inheritance, with adoption sometimes viewed as a deviation from traditional familial structures. Additionally, socioeconomic disparities may influence perceptions of adoption, with certain socio-economic classes facing greater scrutiny and judgment regarding their suitability as adoptive parents.

Genetic Considerations

The emphasis on biological lineage and genetic inheritance reinforces the preference for biological children over adopted ones. Societal attitudes towards children with unknown parentage or those conceived through assisted reproductive technologies may further marginalize adopted children, perpetuating misconceptions and biases.

Positive Shifts in Adoption Perception

Despite these challenges, there has been a notable shift in societal attitudes towards adoption, marked by a growing acceptance and appreciation for alternative family-building options. 

Increasing Adoption Rates

The surge in the number of prospective adoptive parents in recent years reflects a growing willingness to embrace adoption as a means of expanding families. This trend highlights a shift away from traditional notions of lineage and inheritance towards a more inclusive understanding of family dynamics.

Recognition of Adoption’s Value

Adoption is increasingly recognized as a means of creating familial bonds beyond biological ties, emphasizing the importance of love, care, and nurturing in family relationships. As societal attitudes evolve, adoption is being celebrated as a profound expression of compassion, empathy, and altruism.

By acknowledging and addressing sociocultural stigmas and prejudices surrounding adoption, India can foster a more supportive and inclusive environment for prospective adoptive parents and adopted children alike. Promoting awareness, education, and advocacy initiatives can help challenge misconceptions, dismantle barriers, and promote the value of adoption as a positive and enriching experience for families and society as a whole.

In conclusion, The landscape of adoption in India is characterized by a complex interplay of demand, supply, systemic issues, and societal attitudes. While the need for adoption is undeniable, addressing the underlying challenges is paramount to facilitating smoother and more efficient adoption processes. Reforms aimed at streamlining procedures, enhancing regulatory oversight, and combating societal stigmas are essential steps towards ensuring that every child finds a loving and nurturing home. Only through concerted efforts and collective action can we bridge the gap between the aspirations of prospective parents and the welfare of vulnerable children awaiting adoption.
