Jhimil Jain Suneetha(Adopted on 02 April 2011)
Baby Srividhya With his parents Sri

Challenges
• Separation of siblings as there are 5 siblings in the age group
of Between 2 to 12 years and the parents passed away and
they are full orphans as per order of the revenue Department
one child is in children Home, WD & CW, and three with NGO,
and one youngest with Sishugreha, Whether the last child can
place domestic adoption.
• Relaxation power to the State Govt for domestic adoptions in
regard to Special cases. In the earlier CARA Guidelines for InCountry adoption the provision was there, in new guidelines
there is no mention of that.
•In one case the PAPs have taken relative adoption
and after some time the adopted parents return
child to the biological parents. The PAPs again
adopted a child (Pre adoption Foster Care) through
SAA, and the previously adopted child is now 23
years old, the legalization of adoption is pending,
how to proceed.
Inter Country
• As there are so many pending applications for
domestic adoption applications for normal
children cannot be considered by RIPA.
• As per CARA Guidelines after receiving the
dossier of the PAPs the RIPA shall forward the
child related documents to AFAA. But to save
time and expenditure the profile of the child
may be sent by mail and if the PAPs are willing
then the documents may be sent by post
