‘Adoption is a wonderful way to have a child’: Nadia Jamil says the process was tougher than biological birthing

The actor revealed she had to pass meticulous checks before she was accepted as an adoptive parent.

There is no pre-requisite for family — anyone you choose to love is your family and Nadia Jamil is proving just that. The actor spoke of her personal experience with adoption and how it was more tough to be accepted as an adoptive parent than choosing to birth a child.

On Thursday, she shared photos of her daughter Nuri in her arms and wrote, “Adoption is a wonderful way to have a child. I found it a tougher “labour” process to go through than biological birthing. Nerve wracking assessments [and] waiting! Imagine if biological parents were interviewed [and] checked for maturity, parenting skills, financial security and dedication the same way!”

Her post was welcomed with a wave of love. When someone said Nuri was lucky to have her as a mother, Jamil responded that it’s her who’s privileged to have her as a daughter.

Many congratulated her on her little bundle of joy.

When a Twitter user pointed out that adopted children are not eligible for inheritance, the actor said, “Who needs an inheritance when she can be gifted everything in my lifetime?”

“All children are a blessing,” said another netizen, adding that there is more than one way to have a child.

Another user talked about how family isn’t made from blood, it’s made from love.

Congratulations to Jamil and Nuri on finding their family!

Adoption is a very rewarding step. So many underprivileged kids may get homes in this way

“Who needs an inheritance when she can be gifted everything in my lifetime?” I agree with this line and I would love to adopt one day if given the chance and means.

Imagine an issue-less couple or an unmarried women adopting, instead of usual, keeping pets? It is much more rewarding and natural, to adopt a needy infant.

Only special people can do such an act. Quite common in the west, but a rarity in our society probably due to lack of awareness

@Mehreen Chandan Inheritance laws should be changed to give adopted children equal rights.

Child domestic help (slavery!) should be banned and adoption should be encouraged. We are all born equal!

It's selfish for a cancer survivor who can relapse at any time to risk the life and future of a baby this way. Why use a baby this way when she has teenage children? Money can buy kids but she is being very selfish.
