Family court puts adoption procedures on hold
The prospective adoptive parents of the infant of Anupama S. Chandran may have to return the baby to the Child Welfare Committee (CWC), Thiruvananthapuram, shortly even as the family court has put on hold the adoption procedures.
K. Biju Menon, presiding officer of the family court, who was expected to pass the final orders in the adoption procedure on Monday, stayed the proceedings considering the plea of the mother and the CWC. Anupama had come out in the open demanding her baby back. She contended that the child was put up for adoption against her will and her consent was obtained through illegal ways.
The prospective parents in adoption cases, according to judicial sources, have no right over the child as the court has not issued the final order on adoption. The baby was handed over to them in foster care for familiarising it with the atmosphere in the prospective adoptive home. The couple are bound to return the baby on a directive from either the court or the CWC, sources indicated.
