Namaste & Welcome to ICHILD

ICHILD was founded in 1995, and is an internet-based, world-wide support group and source of information & resources for those interested in adoption from India & the Subcontinent.

On the ICHILD website, you will find helpful information including U.S. & Indian agency listings, information on the process of adopting from India, child sponsorship, humanitarian assistance programs, ICHILD mailing lists, the ICHILD Families sections, and more....

The purpose of the ICHILD WEB SITE & MAILING LISTS would hopefully be to offer a source of inspiration, information, support & resources for those interested in adoption from India and the subcontinent. And of course, to help bring together prospective adoptive parents and children in India who wait for their families.

ICHILD supports the idea that for any waiting child, an effort should be made to find an adoptive family in India. If that is not possible, an attempt should be made to place that child with an NRI family abroad. And finally, if NRI parents are not available, then the child should be placed with a non-NRI family. ICHILD offers support to families just beginning to think of adopting, those who are currently in process and those who have already been through the process of adopting from India. We also welcome others to our group who simply have an interest in adoption and/or India. On our mailing lists, the parents share their information, experience and advice with each other. We encourage discussions having the do with the country and culture of India. And the ongoing conversation provides a critical link for our children to their heritage and to each other.
