“Parenthood requires love and not DNA.”
There is a lot of wrong with the world we live in, but compassion makes it a little bearable, and you know who teaches us to love with imperfections – parents. To them, their kids are the best in the whole effing UNIVERSE. And OMG, the overload of love that comes your way when you are an Indian kid, they don’t make words for that.
And if love knew DNA, compassion would cease to exist and kindness would be as volatile as a political debate. Thank God, it’s not. Did you know that according to a report, 7700 Indian couples applied for adopting kids in 2016? This number is not as huge as compared to other countries, but it’s still a step.
