I am writing this post after genuinely upset after watching the eye-opening program “The Truth About Adoption” on BBC about the challenges of our Children facing to be with a family.

In my teens, I had a chance to live and work with orphans and street children as part of my fathers charity orphanages in India. During that time, I could only understand the Indian perspective of this complex problem we are facing as a global society. Watching “The Truth About Adoption” certainly provide me an insight into other facets involved. Coping up with feeling of instant losses, pressure of making new bonds, uncertainty and the emotional roller coaster that our children had to go though at a very young age, makes me feel all the ‘big problems’ we are facing as adults are very very tiny and incomparable. It is very sad to see our children going through such suffer to have a reasonable life and being part of a family. For me this is the most disgrace to our own existence as human race. I am also very unfortunate to see children introduced to their moms as tummy mummies, that would be the most awful situation to be in. I am hopeful we can do much better things for our children. I am very proud and grateful to foster families, moms, dads, social workers and charities. Without these most amazing people i cant imagine!!!

They say, child is the purest form of a human being. No matter who gave birth, I strongly feel they deserve a better start.  Please have a think about adopting a child before bringing a new one..Please show your caring…
