Small request, if someone is liberal / open enough to consider adoption and supported by your parents, please consider adopting from our 2 states and giving them an average life here. There are so many small kiddos, their parents were poor and were forced to go work in COVID phase 2 etc, lost lives and these kids are about 2-3 years old now and chala beeda paristiti.

These orphan homes etc in India are like a frying pan literally in terms of draining money from donors and yet poor kiddos don't get more than 2x mirchi infused sambar and watery butter milk in rice 13 out of 14 times in a week. Parle G is their desert in some cases.

Few benefits of these kids are they can come from your own castes, regions, colors etc if you are one of those fanatics. They already have passed the infant stages to not be just as demanding, they are still young enough to eventually grow up and make a bond with yourself and your family. You will not die a lonely death when your old age and passing time comes.

Even one child adopted is one less soul suffering, they are more than biology if given the right love and care. Most of us slowly growing old in USA loose interest in God, spirituality etc, but love for these innocent kiddos should never be lost.

please spare a few days of thought and do it if you can or suggest these ideas to your circles. Or at least spare a couple of days in your india trip feeding these kids with your own oversight and taking care of any dire needs for such kids. I am doing the latter to my capacity, but if someone does manage to adopt, kudos to you.
