  2. Legal Case Study

  3. Introduction • Adoption has been defined as an “act establishing a person as parent to one who is not in fact or in law his or her child” (Bajpai, 2018, p. 1) • It stablishes legal relationship between adoptive parents and child and also leads to the creation of status for the child in law • The basic and fundamental principal of benefit of the child is central to all these requirements • This paper considers the benefits of technology for streamlining the adoption p

  4. Types of adoptions • Domestic- transfer of children for parenting purposes from one nation to the other – presents an extreme form of what is known as ‘stranger’ adoption” (Bartholet, 2006, p. 63) • International-sees children being transferred from one country to another • Relative-stepparent adopts the child of his or her spouse, or a member of a child’s extended biological family adopts the child whose parents have died or become unwilling or unable to parent”  (Bartholet, 2006, p. 63). • Surrogacy-are carried out through surrogates who agree to carry the child for the parents, one of which may be involved as a birth parent through insemination or egg donation  (Satz & Askland, 2006)  .

  5. Adoption process and involvement of technology • Technology can be used to enhance the post adoption services for the adopted children as well as the parents • Adoption services are incorporated into multiple areas of practice, some of which are pre adoption and some for post adoption period (Coakley & Berrick, 2007) • Pre adoption services include early assessment of children, gathering thorough background information on children, and early engagement with prospective parents and preparation, development, and support for parents (Coakley & Berrick, 2007) • Post adoption services include checking up on the adopted children, as well providing support to new adoptive parents after the child joins the family (Coakley & Berrick, 2007)

  6. Benefits of technology adoption • Technology can ease up some of this administrative process and simplify the documentation process for the hopeful parents (Adoption Network Law Center, 2017). • Technology can change adoption for the better by reducing administrative work both the parents and the adoption providers (Adoption Network Law Center, 2017). • Technology can be used for adoption process also because it can be useful in removing many of the steps from the adoption process. • Open source network can also be used by hopeful parents for accessing information about the child’s background or parents (Essenburg, 2018) • At present, adopting parents are required to submit much documentation, with hopeful parents submitting between 50 and 200 documents over the course of the adoption process (Adoption Network Law Center, 2017). With manual completion and submission being the order of the day for most of these documents, the process can be cumbersome as each document has to be downloaded in PDF format, printed, filled and then faxed or scanned to the adoption provider (Adoption Network Law Center, 2017). • Technology can ease up some of this administrative process and simplify the documentation process for the hopeful parents (Adoption Network Law Center, 2017). • Technology can change adoption for the better by reducing administrative work both the parents and the adoption providers (Adoption Network Law Center, 2017). Technology can be used for adoption process also because it can be useful in removing many of the steps from the adoption process. • Open source network can also be used by hopeful parents for accessing information about the child’s background or parents (Essenburg, 2018)

  7. Comparative analysis between India and • Adoptions inPhilippines are complicated by the secrecy that surrounds adoptions in a significant number of cases(Tarroja, 2015) • One of the reasons for secrecy in adoptions is the complexity and time involved in adoption processes, which may encourage adoptive parents to approach families that are willing to give up their children for adoption without the involvement of the adoption agencies. • Secret adoptions may apply in international or domestic adoptions from Philippines. • Secrecy in adoptions may be a predictor of risk and failure of adjustments in the family • Therefore, there is a need to resolve the issues that lead to encouragement of secret adoptions, of which one of the principal reasons is the complexity and time consuming paperwork involved in adoption processes

  8. In India, adoption processes have become more and more regulated by law over the period of time (Bajpai, 2018) • Adoption process has also changed in India from being parent-centred earlier to being child-centred • . Parent-centred approaches to adoption emphasised the needs of parents, where adoptions were done mostly within family or kinship groups, with little involvement of the law and government agencies (Bajpai, 2018) • From the 1960s onwards, Indian scenario has evolved greatly to shift away from an institutional care approach towards orphans and destitute children, to a more family based alternatives (Bajpai, 2018) • This has led to there being a significant rise in in-country and international adoptions in India. • The concept of inter-country or international adoptions is relatively new in India • India had a higher incidence of relative adoptions and domestic or in-country adoptions; international adoptions have only come into prominence in more recent times.

  9. Suggestions in terms of technology for adoptions • Suggestions in terms of technology for adoptions • However, there is a need to bring about some innovations so that technology can be used in the optimum sense for aiding in the adoption process • Also, there is still a paucity of training for social workers and agencies which act as barriers in the use of technology by the agencies and workers. • This can be improved by adopting best practices with respect to use of technology for adoption of children (Whitesel & Howard, 2013) • Innovations can also be made in the use of intelligent matching technology  for matching the child with the adoptive parents (Adoption Lynx, 2010) • It is considered that innovation technology in this area can enhance the adoption matching process and help to provide the best possible home for the child. • This technology is much welcome because it is believed that good matches between parents and children can be key to the well-being, safety and security of a child once placed within the family (Adoption Lynx, 2010)

  10. Conclusion • The purpose of adoptions is to allow orphaned and destitute children who need families to reach the right family for them. • Adoptions are no longer limited to relative adoptions or even domestic adoptions as there is a rise in inter-country or international adoptions as well • The adoptive parents, foster homes, and adoption agencies all have to follow the procedure • While this is for the benefit of the child being adopted, the procedure is also lengthy, time consuming and involves a lot of paperwork • Technology can be included in the procedure to reduce paperwork, streamline processes, help adoption agencies do background checks on the adoptive parents and help adoptive parents finalise the process in a more hassle free- way
