The primary aim of our foundling home is to create a climate for adoption as we consider it the best way of rehabilitating the abandoned and destitute children. The adoption activity is looked upon as a part of child welfare programme.

Inspite of traditional bias in favour of a male child, many couples are opting for a female child. Infect the girls child is seen doubly advantageous capable of being both a bread winner and source of emotional succour in old age. Therefore, all children except those who are physically or mentally handicapped or both, are offered for adoption to childless couples.

The procedure for adoption is to invite application in the prescribed form by the couple, which stipulate submission of certificates of infertility, annual income, character certificated, domicile certificate and property possessed by the couple. All particulars about couple's history is required to be narrated. They are to give an affidavit in this respect. When documents required are submitted, the couple application is registered. A home study report is prepared either by the social welfare dept. or our social worker. The application is then submitted with the H.S.R. to Kishore Nayay Board Jodhpur. The couple is interviewed and if board is satisfied, order to give the child in faster care is issued. After about 2 months, the couple is called upon for getting adoption order.

After getting an adoption order from District Court a deed of Registration is executed to give the child his right of inheritance same as if he/she is a biological child. This completes the process of adoption. The institution always try to remain in contact with the child in his new environment with adoptee parents and adopted child for two years. Our experience has been that the child in his new environment with adoptive parents, gets love, affection, warmth and grows very healthy. The child excels in his education and he achieves all round development.
