Adoption in India : policies and experiences
"This book is a pioneering study on child adoption in India. Challenging some of the prevailing theories on adoptive parenting through empirical data, it examines the issues that impinge on the development of adopted children in India. Importantly, this is the first book to give space to the voices of children."--Jacket
