Adoption:1 biological child considering 2nd child adoption
2006-03-27
Name: AB



Hi,

I have a 4 yr old biological child and want to go in for adoption of my second child due to medical reasons and my strong desire to have a baby girl. I want to know is it ok to go for adoption or will it create problems for the siblings. Can somebody experienced please guide me on this and the procedures for adopting a child in case one already has a biological child.

Thanks.

Contact - Bharatiya Samaj Seva Kendra, \" Bertha Varada\" , Plot no. 373, 6th Lane, North Main Road, Koregaon Park, Pune - 411 001. It is a very good agency. i have adopted from there itself.

Best of luck,

Deepali

Hey All,

We adopted our second- a 14 month year old boy approx two months ago. We have biological daughter who's 5 years old. We are from Mumbai, so it was relatively easy. If anyone has any queries, I'll be happy to help.
Also if there are any adotive parents around, it would be great to exchange notes.

hi hema,

we have a 2 year old biological boy and are very keen on adopting a baby girl. there are no medical problems to have a second child but we both strongly believe that we should have second child to so called complete our family. we are also of the belief that we should provide a family to a child who does not have one.

we would like to talk to you in terms of problems that might occur in the process of adoption, family acceptance, acceptance of the child in the future at the time of the marriage etc. would really appriciate if you could share your thoughts personnaly. have already contacted the centre at matunga.

is there any way i could get in touch with you. dont know how to give my number or email id to you. if you are fine could give it you.

looking forward to hear from you.

I think its always nice to give a child a home and a family. I have a 2 year old son and planing to adopt a girl mostly from Kashmir. We still have not decided when to materialize this, but will soon make a decision.

Hi AB,

My sister has one biological child and one adopted. The adopted one is now 3 and very attached to the parents and his sister who is biological.We cannot imagine our famiily without him.

I have a biological baby (now about 5 months) and we too want to adopt the second baby. From what I have seen, this can work well, provided you have good family support (esepcailly both usband wife agreeing on this firmly).

I do not know where are you based. You should try and meet up with couples who have adopted and biological children in order to familiarise yourself with issues, for you to be better prepared. You should contact a adoption agency where you stay and register yourself. In certain places there is a long waiting period, so you should not delay it. Procedure when you adopt a baby is same for those who have a biological child before. I think if you have son, you need to adopt a daughter (which is what you want to do, so no problem), if you want a legal status. If you have a daughter and you want to adopt another baby gilr I think you can be 'guardian' and there is some differnce in the legal status. Best for you to visit a agency and find out all relevant details.

Challenging situations come up and the child can feel somewhat insecure when he/she understands that she/he is different from the sibling in some way. Handling such situations with sensitivity and calmness, assuring the child that biological and adotpted are just two different ways of a baby becoming part of the family, it is most normal and joyous, can help the child come to terms with it in a positive way (I know this is easier said that done) but I know many adopted children who are adjusting nicely with parents. So, all the very best!
