Adoption in India

Evolving Policies, Parenting Experiences and Adoptee Narratives

Vinita Bhargava,

About this book

This book highlights the complexities and multi-dimensionalities of child adoption in India by challenging the prevalent adoption theories. It is the only book to lend a voice to adopted children and adults. It foregrounds the narratives of many families in their experiences of adoption together with the author's personal account as an adoptive parent.

The volume outlines parenting practices that lead to success and well-being achieved through adoption. The first unit deals with the 'macro' delineation of child adoption, while the second discusses the 'micro' concerns of parents and children in the Indian context. It also analyses the socio-political and socio-cultural contexts within which adoptions take place. It includes excerpts from the guidelines for in-country adoption, the Juvenile Justice Act and the Hague Convention on inter-country adoptions.

This book would be useful to the students, researchers, and faculty of Social Work, Human Development, Education, Psychology, Sociology and Law. It will also be an indispensable companion to adoptive parents (domestic and inter-country), adoptees (domestic and abroad), psychologists, therapists, psychiatrists, and policy makers.
