		<description>Srinivas, it is nice to know that you want to adopt a girl child. However, as far as I am aware, if you are single, you can adopt only a son and not a daughter. I am yet to find out more on this matter. As far as adopting an yet to be born child goes, I am not sure of the procudures as we are discussing more about adopting orphaned children.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;deepa: but , didnt get the bit abt the religion .. why is it so for non-Hindus ? 

and what if you are adopting a 6 yr old kid ? i mean what if Hindus are adopting a 6 yr old Christian kid , then what happens ?
And what abt the mother tongue ?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

deepa, the difference in adoption for different religions, as sarah (canada) said, could be due to the inheritance law. then about adopting kids from a different religion, does the kids at adoption centers have an official religion? i think they&#039;ll be absorbed into whatever religion their foster parents follow?? sarah can check these details next time. about mother tongue, sarah had mentioned that couples can adopt only from the place of residence. so it shouldn&#039;t be much of a problem.

prem, anoop, nice hearing from you :)

sarah (can), isn&#039;t it enough that you show you have the heart to adopt and that you can afford one more child financially? also, isn&#039;t it easier for NRIs to adopt from india rather than for indians living in india?</description>

		<description>Rocksea.. tht was really nice of you..to read my blog..it really feels good when I know, people read abt one illeterate widow..who taught me so much abt life.. will change the profile so u can leave ur comment
BTW abt Christian parents being only guardians, is because of the inheritance law, which are different for hindu and muslim parents.. Even the last time I was in India, I tried to adopt a child and again the beaurocracy was tough to tackle.. They needed to know why I want to adopt, when I have 3 kids of my own. Now I am told that i won&#039;t be able to love all the kids equally..</description>

		<description>I too wonder why wouldn&#039;t a Christian be considered a legal parent. Isn&#039;t it just the same as a Hindu adopting a child.

Good luck guys..</description>

		<description>Very nicely written post. Adoption as a practice should be encouraged as much as possible.</description>
