Swara Bhasker to adopt a child: I’ve always wanted a family and children
Swara Bhasker always wanted to have a child.
Know who’s going to be a mommy soon? Swara Bhasker. The actress revealed that she is all set to welcome a child in her life through adoption.
In a statement, the Bollywood actress said, “I’ve always wanted a family and children. I realised that adoption was a way to marry both these things. Luckily in India, the State allows single women to adopt. I met many couples who have adopted children, met some children who were adopted and are now almost adults and I read up a bit on adoption – the process and experience.”
Swara Bhasker has been a part of organisations that tend to the care of orphaned children for sometime nowand also champions the cause of raising awareness for orphan crisis in India. She has now taken a step ahead and registered as a ‘Prospective Adoptive Parent’ (PAP) with the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA), and is on the waiting list now to adopt a child.
On the adoption process, Swara said, “I also spoke to some officials at CARA who were very helpful and helped me understand the process. Finally after all this research, I spoke to my parents, who eventually agreed and are now fully supportive of my decision. I completed all the formalities and I am now a PAP on CARA. I know the waiting period is long- often as long as 3 years but I cannot wait to be a parent to a child by adoption.”
On the work front, Swara will be seen in ‘Sheer Qorma’ with Divya Dutta and Shabana Azmi. She also has ‘Jahaan Chaar Yaar’ in the pipeline.
