It all came into limelight when the actress Sushmita Sen decided to become a single mom in 2000.The main question here is that should it be allowed but by whom, law allows it, but the main problem comes from society, parents which never believe in this kind of adoption, a narrow thinking. It takes time for the people to really broader their thinking about this issue.
Let’s get into that how the thought of becoming a single mom have come up in mind. It’s all because in today’s bold era where women are more career oriented, they prefer a child without marriage, it helps them to be more happy and independent. The great step like this is totally in favour of society as it helps an orphan to get a better life, what else do you want? It’s not that the child you gave birth is yours; always the guardian is bigger than the creator. You can take the example of Hindu mythology, where Lord Krishna is always known to be Yashoda’s son, who didn’t give him birth.
The great step like this shows the smartness and independent nature of women. This step also helps us in providing a control over tremendously growing population. Recently CBSE has also announced that the father’s name is optional in the different examination forms filled by students. This is also a great move in support of this issue.
I would like to clear that a proper law Hindu Adoption and Adoption Act 1956 has been made for adoption where people with income Rs. 3000 and above, with full family support and age between 30 to 45 years are allowed for adoption. Even after adoption, a proper homestudy is conducted at regular intervals where the guardian of child is seen that is he able to meet all the basic requirements of the child.
In 2009, Ms. Sushmita Sen adopted another child who will really motivate the women of today to go and take this noble step.
