TH DECEMBER, 2021.

DATE : 16 P.C. :

1.

The petitioner, a specialized adoption agency and social welfare organization, proposes to grant in adoption minor girl-child Khushi, born on 20 th October 2020, to the prospective adoptive parents, pursuant to their having been found suitable for adoption upon registration with the "CARINGS" portal of CARA. The Child Welfare Committee has declared the minor legally free for adoption on 26 th April 2021. The couple have married since 13 years, however they have no biological children. They are aged about 46 and 41 years respectively. They are residents of 1/3

Bangalore. The prospective adoptive father is a IT Consultant, presently selfemployed and his income records appear to be in order. The prospective adoptive mother is a home-maker. The Self Assessment Report of the prospective adoptive parents is on record. They are found to be acceptable. Medical examination report of the prospective adoptive parents have not revealed any issues with the communicable and contagious disease. In the adoption proceedings, the income tax record of the prospective adoptive father has been filed so are the investment documentation.

2.

The Home Study Report of the prospective adoptive parents is found to be in order. The Child Study Report is also on record and is found to be in order. Medical examination as filed has not identified any issues and overall the proposal seems to be acceptable. There is a Child Care Undertaking executed by the sister and the brother-in-law of the proposed adoptive father. The persons who have executed the undertaking are also residents of Hassan District in Karnataka and I find this to be acceptable.

3.

Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and having perused the record, I see no impediment in allowing this petition. Accordingly, I pass the following order :- (i) The petition is made absolute in terms of prayer clauses (a) to (d).

(ii) The prospective adoptive parents shall invest a sum of Rs.2,00,000/- in the name of the child in LIC's Single 2/3
