<p>There was a time when Indian couples thought of adoption only when they were unable to have a biological child. The preference was to adopt a healthy male child. Why? Some wanted a male heir to carry on the<br></br> family lineage, or considered a son mandatory to light one’s funeral<br></br>

My kids are grown now, with their own kids. When they were younger we did a lot to encourage our kids to read. Both my sons really got into reading. Mostly kids adventure stories and a lot of insect, turtle and fish books. They are both in their 30’s now and still read a fair amount. My Grandkids read quite a bit.
