Hey Psych Babbler,

Nice to hear from you. Yes, it is a sad state of affairs that in the overall picture, a male child is better prefered than the female. Yet, I feel that slowly, the newer generation are willing to adopt female children with an equal interest like that for a males.
When are you planning to adopt? It is a nice thought and wish you all good things to happen!

You guys have a great blog up here!

This information is very interesting…though I guess a lot will change when I’m ready to adopt. I find it intriguing how you have said parents ’settle’ for a female child. It’s a sad state of affairs. A relative of ours adopted some years ago and chose for a boy which gave me the shits.

Thanks again for this info!!!

Will be following your blog from now on.

Cheers!!!

Dear Prachi,
As far as I have researched, it is enough for a married couple to wait for 2 years before they can start the formal procedures of adoption. The procedure itself may take 6 months or more before you are declared fit to be adopting parents. Since you wish to adopt a female child, the adoption should not take too long.
It will be good if you can get in touch with a ‘women and child department’ situated in Pune. They should be able to guide you through the adoption procedures quite well. If there is any medical reason for you not being able to become a parent, you can mention that also to them.
You can get back to us in case of any need and we would be glad to help you out with whatever information we have.

wishing you both luck!

Yes Jina, we live in a world of too many rules! But these rules for adoption actually seem bearably less for the seriousness of it! After all, it is a matter of a life.
