Before we choose someone we would like to understand what the criteria is for a person to be accepted as a guardian? And would the US or Indian government decide if a person chosen is or is not "fit" as the guardian? For example, is there an age limit, does the guardian have to live in the country where the child will be brought up, citizenship, does the person have to be married. If you could e-mail me back I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

My husband and I are NRIs too. I don't know what rules would be applied to us - you know we're foreign residents, not foreign nationals. Good luck to you and Roxy!

When I was a kid, I too wished for a baby sister and my brother used to go,"yew! not another one!". hehe. If I am right you are an NRI, sarah. I cannot really advise you, as of now, on the red tapism and bureaucracy behind an NRI adoption. However, I can tell you from what I gathered from the adoption centre I visited, that the rules applied are the same as for a parent residing in India. However, you cannot have direct links to the adoption centres in India, but through agencies set up in those foreign countries (canada, in your case) who would recognise these adoption centres and aid the adoption process. They did, atleast, sound easy to me on the adoption procedure. Me think, an NRI adoption may also be more favored due to the quality of life they should be able to provide the child. If I get any more information on the NRI adoption procedures, I will certainly post it for your benefit. Hey Sarah!

However, it has to be kept in mind that not all abandoned kid reaches the right adoption centre. Then, from the information gathered, it seems like male child is still prefered over the girls. So, it could be that adopting parents wanting male children are more than what are available and thus affecting the overall picture of the balance between willing-to-adopt-parents and the children available. But information from one source cannot be the representation of the overall picture either. This can be confirmed after a few more studies from the adoption centers that we will resume from Hyderabad. </p> <p>Information on the disadvantages of adopting a child under the christian wards and guardian act is yet to be clarified. I have a christian friend who have adopted a girl child and he should be able to help me with this. </p> <p>Well, the first impression i had when i saw the kids were that they are a well taken care lot and a pretty smart and happy lot. They did not have a feeling that they were abandoned and smiled through life. That was an impressive picture. I had a few ones who were observing me closely. I almost got a shock when one of them slowly grabbed the cross I was wearing around my chain and looked at it in amazement. It was a touching and innocent act. I had another child do the same thing when we were in the classroom. Then there were a few who were extremely smart and trying to show off their educational skills and all the stars they gathered durng their exams. When I got out, a few tiny ones were grabbing for me, pulling my hands and wanting to be holding them and like they were already telling me, 'Take me home, I will be a nice child." They had lots of love to shower on their caretakers. No matter how nice the place, all that a child would yearn for is the comfort and saftey of a parent's arms. All these gave me a personal feeling that, though they were truely happy,they still craved for that special attention, that protective touch and that friendly smile and look. They wanted parents.</p> :) Roxy chetta, it is indeed a +ve sign to see that we have more parents willing to adopt than the children available.
