A Novel Method of Secure Child Adoption Using Blockchain Technology

Child adoption is a noble procedure that establishes familial bonds between a child and prospective adopters (parents). However, the adoption process can be arduous due to various challenges. Prospective adoptive parents (PAPs) seek transparency and security to ensure a fair and unbiased outcome throughout this demanding process. The Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) and adoption agencies also emphasize the need for accurate information in prospective parent profiles. With the world transitioning into complete digitalization, traditional adoption procedures are becoming obsolete, warranting a shift towards more advanced methods. This paper proposes the implementation of blockchain technology to address the demands of a digitalized child adoption process, providing enhanced transparency and cybersecurity. Blockchain, with its secure and decentralized database, offers a promising solution. Our approach involves the utilization of smart contracts, privacy tokens, and decentralized data storage in blocks, connected through cryptography. These smart contracts are designed based on specific adoption policies, ensuring thorough verification of prospective adopters at the outset and maintaining transparency throughout the entire process. The adoption of blockchain technology holds significant potential to revolutionize and streamline the adoption process, offering a reliable, efficient, and secure platform for the formation of precious familial relationships.
