Adoption, in India, is a lengthy, and obstacle-laden process. However, there are many people who take this route and have happy families.

    Hi Deepa,

    Good to see this list of recognised placement agencies. Thanks for posting it.

    But, the comment at the end about the length of the process and obstacles is not going to be helpful. There are countless couples taking easy shortcuts like picking up babies from hospitals and arranging private adoptions, just because of misconceptions and misunderstandings about the length of the wait or the obstacles.

    The procedures as laid down by the Central Adoption Resource Authority are in the best interest of the child, as well as birth and adoptive parents. Waiting for a long time is a trade-off for safety and legality of the process, please don’t discourage people with such statements.

    Personally we had a very short and fantastic experience during our adoption process. And many of our members also, of SuDatta Adoptive Parents’ Association, Bangalore. I think positive statements about the legal adoption process would encourage couples to not go for illegal adoptions and live in fear and secrecy all their lives.

    Thanks and regards,
    Nayantara Mallya

    Respected Sir/Ma’am,

    I am married since the last 6 years and still childless. Though nothing is wrong with me or my husband, I am unable to conceive. We are both working professionals and would like to adopt a girl child preferably who is newly born. I would like to share my love with a child as a mother. I also would like to know that if it is possible to know the child’s actual parentage or family background before adopting.

    Thanks & Regards
    Mrs. S Mukerjee.

"Will you walk into my parlour?" Said the spider to the fly. "I've spread a carpet of silk and diamonds! Walk in, and don't be shy! Do come along, for I grow thinner... I've LOVE to have you, ahem, for dinner!" Jokes apart, Funnel Web Spiders also called Wolf Spiders, are named because of the funnel-like web they weave...and the second name is given because they are ferocious predators. They build a flat sheet of nonsticky web with a funnel-shaped retreat to one side or occasionally in the middle, depending on the situation and species. The typical hunting mode is…

Theatre Review: “Credit Titles” by Bangalore Little Theatre

It was like a rare alignment of the planets: several factors come together to pull me out of my usual Ranga Shankara ambit for watching a play. I had not been to visit Bangalore International Centre, which opened a while ago in Domlur; Bangalore Little Theatre, as part of their "VP 80" festival, was staging "Credit Titles"; the play, written by Vijay Padaki, whose 80th birthday the festival marks, was based on a story by Vinod Vyasulu, an eminent economist whom I've known for a long time, as our daughters share a cose friendship dating from 1988. And last but…
