Adoption could also be an alternative for parents who have a biological child and are also keen on providing a home to an underprivileged child who needs love and care. Many doctors and psychologists now understand that bonding between mother and child doesn t begin at birth, but is a result of continuous physiological, psychological and spiritual events that begin in the womb and continue throughout the postnatal period. When this natural evolution is interrupted by a postnatal separation from the biological mother, the resultant experience of abandonment and loss is permanently imprinted upon the unconscious minds of these children, causes what is called the primal wound. The task of an adoptive parent is to heal it. Parenting is a big responsibility.
Parents play an important role in shaping the future of the child.
Child is like a clay which needs to be moulded and his personality can be moulded as he grows up with the strokes the adult uses. It is how we perceive the concept of adoption that makes the difference. An adopted child should be treated just like any other biological child. Being an adoptive parent is nothing to be ashamed about. If you continue to avoid social visits out of fear of being rejected or criticised, then your child will begin to believe that something is wrong in being adopted.
