In an interview with SheThePeople, Tia Bhatia opens up on her adoption story, the inspiration she draws from her parents, her growth as an artist, and why love is a primary phenomenon required to form a family. 

It could around three years for the adoption process to complete and Swara Bhasker is well aware of this.

I still do not share a very good relationship with my mom. However, that does not deter me. Today I am a confident woman. I worked on my dreams and I am building an identity of my own.

“Once it is found that the child is born to a couple, for all practical purposes of JJ Act, the inquiry must be initiated as though the child belonged to a married couple,” The Kerala HC said in regard to the John-Anitha case.

For far too long, people have thought and continue to think that adoption is about picking children off the street and is an act of sympathy and “humanitarian” gesture.  This attitude and thought is far from the truth and is very damaging to the psyche of the child.
