In an enriching and rewarding career, Nilima Mehtahas devoted fifteen years to the cause of Adoption in India. Following a Master's Degree in Social Work and Post-Graduate Courses in Counselling, she began work with the Family Service Centre, Bombay in 1977. Her commitment and dedication has found official recognition in the field of adoption. She is a visiting lecturer at the College of Social Work, Bombay and serves on the Adoption Committee of the Indian Council of Social Welfare and the Indian Association for Promotion of Adoption. Her book, she says, was a "Labour of Love". It fulfills the ambition of a lifetime and meets a long felt need. Among Non-Institutional Services for children, Adoption perhaps is one of the most suitable modes of rehabilitation for the abandoned and destitute child, Ours by choice is a sensitive study of adoption issues, in the Indian Socio-Cultural context and responds well, to the needs of Adoptive Parents, I am sure this will motivate many more parents to give a home to a child who needs one. - Gerry Pinto, UNICEF In the long years Nilima Mehta has pursued her vocation, she has found no higher reward than gifting a new life to a couple. It was no easy task. She has persevered against cultural and social prejudices, ignorance and fear. Her book is a definitive guide on adoption. With clarity and depth she explores the social, emotional, psychological and familial aspects of her subject. Fears are allayed; controversies such as the nature versus nurture issue laid to rest; and step-by-step procedures for a successful adoption explained in detail. This is a valuable book. It takes us along a path which is right and true. No greater gift can be bestowed to a childless couple than the life of an infant they can call their own. And they discover as we all do that there is a place in the heart which does not exist until the love of a child brings it to bright and shining life. - Frank Simoes A practical book covering all the facets
