- W2023781621 abstract "Child adoption is a challenging social process in Nigeria generally and more so in Igboland where the “bastards” syndrome is rife. The challenges range from individual, family and community socio-cultural behaviours towards inheritance to the complex ethno-religious behaviours. The study is a qualitative and explorative study to evaluate the concept of adoption, types of child adoption, reasons for child adoption, child adoption in Igboland and the socio religious implication of child adoption in Igboland. The Igbos’ have their own peculiar forms of customary behaviours, particular systems of social relationships and distinctive culture. The study is intended to evaluate how the socio-cultural and environmental (ethno-religious) factors affect the child adoptive process in Igboland The consequences of such effects on the adopted child’s behaviour and perception of family and the society towards the adopted children. The research shows that the major reasons behind Igbos adoption are infertility and untimely death. It is discovered that adopted children are not fully accepted in Igbo society because of traditions, cultural norms and values. The paper encourages creation of awareness, enlightment of the masses and enforcement of laws that protect adopted children in Igboland. DOI: 10.5901/ajis.2013.v2n11p168" @default.
