Theradhayau Sabi (traditional adoption lore)

Ceremonies and rituals play a central role in Torres Strait kinship. 

They mark important life events, such as birth, initiation, and death, and strengthen community bonds.

The Torres Strait kinship system assigns roles and responsibilities within the community. 

This includes obligations related to marriage, child-rearing, and land management.

 

 

Traditional adoption in the Torres Strait involves a cultural practice where individuals or families within the community formally take on the responsibility of caring for and raising a child who is not their biological offspring. 

This practice is deeply rooted in Torres Strait Islander culture and has been a way of strengthening family and community bonds. 

Traditional adoption is guided by cultural protocols and often involves ceremonies to mark the occasion. 

It’s important to note that this practice is specific to the Torres Strait region and differs from Western adoption systems.
