Many of the doubts and confusions about adoption are alleviated during the pre-adoption counselling sessions. Here it is very important to note that both the husband and wife need to be in total consensus to go in for adoption.

As a psychological counsellor, I have come across many adoptive parents and adopted children seeking counselling for various emotional issues.
