Mrs Elizabeth Odoh, a legal practitioner, has called on Nigerians to be more open to child adoption even when they are blessed with their biological children.
Odoh made the call in an interview with the
News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Abuja.
She advised Nigerians to go for child adoption through legal processes.
”Nigerians should note that the only legal way to adopt in Nigeria is to work with the respective state social welfare office (usually named the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development).
”Adopt the child and make it your own. All the formalities must be done and when you adopt that child, treat them the way you will treat your own children,” she said.
