A Gujarati-American family, originally from Surat, has legally adopted two tribal children, bringing them from their native community to their home in the United States.
A couple of Indian origin, who have settled in the United States after growing up in Surat, have completed the legal adoption of two children belonging to a tribal community. The family, identified as Gujarati-American, announced the adoption after the final court approval in a US jurisdiction.\n\nThe two children, who were living with their tribal relatives, were placed under the couple's guardianship following a thorough assessment by child‑welfare authorities. The adoption process, which spanned several months, required compliance with both Indian and US regulations governing inter‑country adoptions.\n\nThe couple expressed gratitude for the support received from community groups and highlighted their intention to preserve the children’s cultural heritage while providing them with educational and health opportunities in their new home. The adoption underscores a growing trend of diaspora families seeking to give tribal children a stable environment abroad.
