Adoption sirf emotional decision nahi; legal formality se hi child ko full rights milte hain – naam, inheritance, identity. Step-parent adoption, close relative adoption, aur orphanage se adoption – teeno me procedure slightly different ho sakta hai, but court ki approval central rehti hai.
Agencies home study, background checks, counselling, aur matching process handle karti hain. Law age, marital status, religion, number of existing children waste dhyan me rakh ke eligibility define karta hai.
Step-parent adoption tab hota hai jab ek biological parent alive hai, aur new spouse child ko legally adopt karna chahte hain. Yahan consent, previous spouse ka status, and child’s own wishes (certain age ke baad) important hote hain.
Proper adoption ke bina informal “beta toh mera hi hai” waali situations later inheritance disputes, passport issues, aur guardianship problems create kar sakti hain.
