Adoption

I am asking this for someone I know..

does anyone have any type of resources they are willing to share (especially of anyone in Pak) ? through which someone can adopt a child or two?

I am asking because going the traditional route is 1- too expensive, and 2- way too many legal battles and nonsense to adopt.

I have heard of people being able to go to Pak and bringing back a child, either through a couple who wasn't able to afford said child, or due to other reason they had to give up

And no, Eidhi foundation is not an option. I'm talking more of, ghar ki baat type thing

any help is highly, highly, highly appreciated

Our search algorithm here on GS is soo effed up and thats the worse thing that has happened recently. Otherwise we had tons of knowledgeable threads on adoption.

If someone else can find those threads or the posters who opened or took part in those discussions, they’ll get a water cooler in inaam. Get on it

lol .. everyone race for that water cooler !!!

seriously though, any help would be literally helping a family be brought together

I was thinking more along the lines of personal connections to people who need/want to give away a child

You heard people just plucking a baby from somewhere in Pak and bringing him with them like nothing? Where did you hear it or did you actually talk to those parents?

Guardianship or adopting a child who would then be migrating out of country will have to go through all necessary legal hoops of international adoption process required by the destination country, no matter whether it’s just ghar ki baat or formal adoption, there is no way around it. A bit of commonsense would help before declaring it nonsense, otherwise there would be no difference between adoption and human trafficking.

Even in Pakistan, you’d have to present tons of paperwork to prove legal guardianship just to get the passport of the adopted child.

Hello Hello,

Guess what! As being the President and the VIP member of People-with-no-life club, I was working on some other stuff this weekend and was online so also worked with Azkar to get the search index rebuilt (as some of you might have seen the notice on top temporarily).

Anyhow, the results are better now. May not be 100% but not that terribly terrible.

For adoption, apart from the blogs and several dozen threads from GSbot, here are the few threads where adoption was discussed. Ofcourse I havent checked these but @akaprincess you may take a look:

It’s very harsh for parents to give their child to anyone who want to adopt ..
