Advocate Anjali Pawar Kate,  director of  Sakhi, said, \u201cConsidering the involvement of Preet Mandir in  criminal  activity, including fabrication of paperwork, it is clear that  none of  its paperwork can be trusted prima facie.\u201d Advait Foundation  and Sakhi  have urged that either the High Court or CBI must investigate  each case  to see if the children are kidnapped, he said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>They  have requested that it must be  checked whether the relinquishment  documents are genuine, whether  correct procedure has been followed and  can the child indeed not be  restored to his\/her family (in case of  abandoned children). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThere are about  5,000 families in  India waiting to adopt a child. Despite this, all  these 18 children  were put for inter-country adoption. It needs to be  looked whether all  efforts were taken to place the child in India  itself. If need be, it  must also be checked if the DWCD were to invite  local Indian parents  for adoption, would an Indian family adopt the  child now,\u201d Kate said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On October 8, the  Chief Justice Mohit  Shah and Justice R P Sondur Baldota passed an order  directing CARA to  process the adoption applications of 18 children in  Preet Mandir that  were in the pipeline before the adoption agency\u2019s  licence was cancelled  in May this year. Most of these are inter-country  adoptions, including  four children with special needs. <\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date:\u00a0 2010-10-20 Source: http:\/\/www.indianexpress.com Fifteen days after the Bombay High Court passed an order directing Central Adoption Resource Agency (CARA) to process the adoption applications of 18 children in Preet Mandir, voluntary organisations Sakhi and Advait Foundation have forwarded their objections to CARA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,34],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.againstchildtrafficking.org\/archive\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.againstchildtrafficking.org\/archive\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.againstchildtrafficking.org\/archive\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.againstchildtrafficking.org\/archive\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.againstchildtrafficking.org\/archive\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1555"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/old.againstchildtrafficking.org\/archive\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1558,"href":"https:\/\/old.againstchildtrafficking.org\/archive\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1555\/revisions\/1558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/old.againstchildtrafficking.org\/archive\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.againstchildtrafficking.org\/archive\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1555"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/old.againstchildtrafficking.org\/archive\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
