Catalysts For Social Action - Whitepapers |
CSA periodically conduct field research studies on different issues related to Adoption. These studies are meant primarily to set out the roadmap for CSA initiatives. They also, facilitate identification of issues that need to be addressed if improvements in the adoption are to be brought about.
White Paper 1 - Adoption
CSA’s first White Paper on Adoption, was released in 2003. The objective of the Field Research Paper was to list and analyze the reasons for the low rates of adoptions in India, and then provide suggestions for interventions at various levels. We drew conclusions from earlier studies on the subject, and validated the findings of those studies, through our own field studies. 30 sets of respondents in each of 3 groups viz. Adoption agencies, Adoptive parents and Social workers were covered.

CSA’s second White Paper - 'Networking to enhance Indian Adoptions', has now been released (March 2005). The objective of this paper is to examine the need and feasibility of networking across Adoption agencies, Orphanages and Destitute homes in the country, to create a virtual cycle whereby children legally eligible for adoption could move into adoption agencies and thus into adoption. The paper also identified interventions that are necessary for ensuring both, enhancements in the numbers as also, the quality of childcare.
