 WE INTERESTED TO ADOPTION A CHILD FROM INDIA
Name: Aravind
Country: India
 East or West India is the best country for Indians who are born and brought up in India. Culture, Bonding Relationship, Freedom of thought, Speech and Action. In a foreign country the Son the soil will feel irritated and even they will go to the level of killing people migrating from other countries. The Employment opportunities are available in plenty. If you are going to abroad you are making yourselves as slaves.People who are technically highly qualified can work for their own countries and strive hard for the development of their nation.Nurturing children, Natural climatic conditions, Good Environment, Culture, food habits, feeling of our country. Traditional system of India.so many factors are involved, India is the best country for nurturing children. That are the talents and planning of parents to bring their children in a prosperous and high level. One has to understand their children very well, analyze their weakness and strengths and try to eliminate weakness of their children and to develop their strength.All Great saints are born in India and India is a country with a history of wonderful resources and Great Leaders By Aravind

 Immigration is not a new thing. People migrate from village to city, plains to hills, state to state and country to country. It all depend upon how strong you need it based upon your family background, their expectations, current place of living, career, relations with family, friends & society and YOUR responsibilities. As far as the concern for your kids is concerned, do not forget that you were once kid and who made you what you are now. India is a country of colors, full of challenges and surprises. At the end, where ever you live, be patriotic to that nation. Kids will follow.

 Wah wow! Wat an article!! People like you pretend to belong elsewhere, and forget your own nationality. To be honest, you ought to be kicked out of USA AND India, cuz you belong nowhere. You guys go there to make money, don't even pay taxes back home, and are happy sweeping the floor. Back at home you will pretend like ur a big boss. Fuck you assholes. And that includes your stupid kid too. Who i guess will learn to speak with a fake american accent, while you, his mom, will push Frooti into his mouth (cuz evidently its cheaper than amaaarican drinks). Ugh! Disgusting! Chutiya! And not to mention that sick habit of taking back smelly masalas and oily pickles and fugly clothes from india. Ewwww. you guys SUCK

 india is instituion in itslef welll i am not a regular user to this website . i am indian student doing masters in business and found the same problem in uk but what i realized that the standard of educatoin in india is wordclass if one is more particular about western style of education then send ur kids to mussorie, doon , where there are world class schools for people living abroad i am telling you it is only and only environment which influences others for life time in america any kind of brinup will be useless bcoz the child doesn't know the priorities in one's life it is nothing to do with indian or india it is to do with the rich heritage we indians have and the intellectual knowledge and thinking power our community has

 well people i dont even have a kid and i am thinking about it already. i have attended 2 years of university here in the us and have has friends from a lot of different countries. one thing i think one must keep in mind is murphys laws what can go wrong will go wrong. what are you going to tell ur girl or boy when she'd come to you and ask you if she can goto the club, or the prom or date this white guy from her class? dont do it beacuse i say so (or because we are indian and are different )? that really never works and in fact when kids go and tell thier peers that they cant do it beacuse they r indian they r ridiculed at. my observation so far has been that kids specially during their teens think their parents are backward and unclassy as compared to their peers parents and hence loose respect for their parents.
Name: maya
Country: England
 well..all the ppl living abrod do decieve themself thinking that after my child becomes 6-7 years old we will go back ..frankly i think they r decieving themselves and trying to prolong their stay in forgin land..what about kids? do u think its fare on them? adjusting to india enviornment will be very hard for them. if somebody wants to go back than sooner than better.
Name: saugato banerjee
Country: USA
 it will also be very interesting to see that if tomorrow usa was to lose its monetary might as the soviet union did, and lifestyle fell dramatically, what the current crop of indian immigrants would do. im sure they would run back to india like a pack of rats escaping a flooding basement. americans would, ofcourse, sweat and toil and bust their guts to get their country back on top again. but the cultured, respectful, superior indians would tuck tail and scamper back..which would just go to prove that we are nothing but bloody hypocrites. if given a choice, an indian would be a slave in heaven. an american would be a king in hell.

Country: India
 i think that both countries are good. india is all about the culture while america is all about freedom. if it wasn't for the financial oppurtunities, indian people would have not set foot on this nation. india needs to find a way to curb its population and cleanse it's political system. this probably would not happen. if kids are born here in america, parents should inform their kids about indian culture and the way of life. they should take them to indian temples, restaurants, and india as well.

 i think the place doesnt matter, its all about your values and your culture that how you raise your child.

 need valuable advice and comments...how about letting the children continue education in india and mother stay with the children and take care of them till they reach teen age and then migrate them for their further studies. but here the parents have to sacrifice or compromise their comforts in life for the sake of their children....
Name: nilani
Country: Canada
 i perosnally think it doesn't matter where your raise yor child,but the way you raise your child is the one that matters. i've been living in canada for almost 17 years now. i'm 25 and i'm a mother of 4 children.my husband is a jamaican, we got a love marriage.we been married for 5 years now. we both teach each other our culture and our children is now cabale of speaking 2 language,they could speak my mother tongue(tamil)and english.we go to temple becuas ei'm hindu and we go to church because my husband is christian. we pratice both of mine and my husband's culture. we eve go visit india every other summer.so my whole point is that my children is just capable of growing up in canada and learn both of their parents culture.

Name: Kaushik
Country: usa
 i am in the us for the last few years because of my job which is still india based and i represent india here in the states.stated below are strictly my personal opinions and should be treated as such.i firmly believe that we need to do what history has taught us. stay in a developed country,get self developed and then go back and try to develop our own nation. someone would now say that what is there to go back,especially the teen age group(25-45)that is in the us and i agree that india has a long way to go, but imagine what would have happened if the tatas ,ambanis,or more recently azim premji or narayan murthy would have said that? it is not always that the sea has the same tides,it keeps on changing and changing for the good. afterall our children are the future of our country and not for some other country.when i say that us or uk or any other developed country is good for our kids because of social or economical life,i need to remember that it is infact my own guilt that i try to hide from my own future.in short,i need to go back to india and raise my kids there in a socially,diversified society.

 i agree with jay rajesh and other like minded that no place is bad r good. if its so then i think kids in india will be only sri ramas and sati savitris. [just think whether its that way?]. i think instead of thinking what they may turn in future, try and do ur best as parents and leave the rest to destiny. its a cycle. our parents were worried abt our future and now its our turn. world is never perfect for parents[including us]. enjoy the bliss of parenting.

 life is not just earning money..life is something else too!! that "something" else is completely lost in usa. i think going back to india is better.
Name: meenakshi
Country: india
 i think the child have to grow with their parents love and affections. so how can it be possible back to india while the parents are in usa. if parents are ready to go back to india after leaving the luxurious life in usa, then it is possible to go back to india. but it is possible if the child is very young because otherwise the child will not agree for back to india.
Name: Well travelled Indian.
Country: india
 i think it's important to teach the kids values to be a good human being this can be done wherever the parents are. the problem starts when living in a foreign country thearents expect the children to be like they themselves were all those years ago. india is constantly changing so don't think of it as a place that you lived in. don't shift back only to teach 'indian culture' to the kids ,just love them they will grow up good. just make sure the foundation is strong they will learn all you want them to but they will also not lose their indivisuality. so the place dosen't matter so much anymore with today's change and technology ,world's getting smaller .

 definetely india! i am 22 years old and i have lived my first 11 yrs in india and my second 11 yrs in america. being in both countries part of my life made me realize that i am very well favored in being in india and being raised there and raising my children there someday. what can i say east or west, india is the best! :)
Name: rashmi
Country: thailand
 well said rajesh ,its all same in which ever country you bring up its the education and love you give yr child matters a lot and the way they take life may be different when they grow so why worry abt future ,so live happily where ever you are and be satisified with what you have .

 i really got confused by reading so many views. i thouhgt india would be best for my daughter. but if i look at india (atleast hyd), its no more the same when i used to be there 7 years back. now i think the only thing that matters is the way we upbring our children. parents play a vital role in a kid's life and its we who has to taught the values and culture to our kids. we need to guide them in a proper way to make them understand what is right and wrong.

 one more thing i forgot to mention, i recently saw the movie "namesake". its a movie by mira nair. go watch it. i am very encouraged by that movie to go back to india. america is no heaven. you pay a big emotional price to live and work for this country usa and its not worth it.
Name: Vikram from hyd
Country: India
 i have been living abroda for almost 10 years now. recently my father expired in india. all my cousins and relatives are very happy in india and we here in the usa despite all the comforts are very stressed out all the time. i am planning to go back to india for good. not for the sake of my kids, but for myself. definitely india is the best. we get everything in india today and life is simple and straight forward. yes there will be some problems like traffic, pollution and corruption. well there are too many problems here in the usa too. life is too complicated here. and racism is slowly increasing here. no matter how good you are at work, you are considered not better than any american... i am not going to die here in this strange land and i dont want my kids to settle here. i cannot miss my family and relatives back in india and want my kids to have lot of cousins in life rather than living a sick soletary life like an american. i am saying all this after being very successful in us and living here for 10+ years. i cannot wait to go back. planning is going on. india is best for indians...

 i am sailing in the same boat as india or america? i want to goback india but not immediately? currently my daughter is studying 3 grade. do you think would it be a wise thing todo, asking kids (my dauhter) to return india during their intermediate 1 st year?

 hi, usa is systamatic and rich country. you can give them good health, education and safety environment when compare to india. whereas india is not a bad option to live with, minimum pear pressure to make wrong decisions in life, realxed life style. u can live your life instead of running behind it. yeap. it teaches the meaning of relationships and self satisfaction/

 1st of all i want to give big thanks.i have a 6 months baby boy and u wont believe i just thought like u that for us its ok but for my baby is it good this place? here is different culture and lots of question were in my mind but after reading ur article i m totally agree with u ,its all depends how u taught ur child .thanks again.

Name: Mim
Country: india
 i think that india would be a better place to raise kids and live there for yourself because think of all the stuff we are missing out on ,i mean look at the kids over there , they are having the fun of their lives and over here what do you see ? the kids have no life here but school & home . america is a okay place to live but it doesnt provide much as like india because america provides wealth and status now think why did indians come from india ? just to earn a name but once they come here they know what they missed out on . some people say that india is not a good place to live , let me guess because of the goverment, and corruption ? if u look now you see that america is the same , look at the wars happening , and all the corupt things that are going on & think do u really think that america is a good place to raise ur children ? i mean look at the teens & kids here . and india is progressing . watch the news , do u see any news or anything about politics on it about india? how they are corrupt and stuff ? and now look what are the news reports on america ? lots of corrupt news . and here is a thought that did u enjoy more in india or now in america. i live here too and i like it here but i miss india and so of all the people i know here . p.s - kids over here say they would rather live here than india cause they never been to india , they dont even know what india is about .

 ultimately, choose the environemnt which is best for your child. the us is a clean place with good medical facilities and many other opportunities. why shouldn't someone want the best for their children?

Name: P Wanjari

 i came to usa before 7 months for higher education. instead of spending money, i started earning a littlebit. before coming here, left my home for the first time. was little nervous initially, but thought maybe will get accustomed to this culture. but still my thoughts are as it were before. dont know why people like me get attracted to other countries. maybe for money or some attraction. i had attraction for this only before coming here. now i forgot all those things, and just miss my home.

 nicely written, living in india has its advantages, our family, culture, food and so on but also had other bad things, society, culture :-) ! ,politics,caste, weather, insufficent infrastructure, poverty and so on.. we can love our kids and develop a well bonded family here in us, but then thats the first generation of immigrants,, things will become different as generations passon, our grand kids here iwll be very different....
