HHI - Who We Are?

"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."
Proverbs 31: 8-9

Children in India are adopted under two different
laws based on one’s faith:
Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, and Sikhs must adopt under a law called “Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956”. Under this law, parents receive complete parental rights on the child and the adoption is irrevocable.
Christians, Muslims, Parsis and Jews must adopt under a law called “Guardian and
Ward Act, 1890”. Under this law, parents do not receive complete parental rights but receive guardianship on the child and the adoption can be
revocable.

The HOPE House ministry was started by a couple - Ruby and Vinodhini Nakka, in Lubbock - TX, USA in 2004. Ruby relocated to India early this year and is currently serving as an Executive Director of “The Hope House, India”. Subsequently Hope House International was born in Feb ’06 with a vision to promote adoptions globally and to support and care for the orphans of Hope House, India.
