Goa: 293 Couples Await Adoption as Demand Outstrips Supply

In Goa, many couples want to adopt children, but not enough kids are available.

This makes the wait very long, sometimes over three years.

Adoptive parents must register on CARINGS portal and can choose states for adoption.

Some people are hesitant to adopt, worrying about what others think or the child's background.

Over the past three years, some children from Goa were adopted by parents in Goa, other Indian states, and even other countries.

Officials mention parents can face adjustment challenges, especially when registering later in life.
