Right to a Family

Being a volunteer of the news track team, the piece of news in the following lines caught my interest stemming from the belief that every child deserves a happy childhood and caring family. It is time that process of adoption becomes transparent, easy, and protects the rights of the child!

Read on…

The Ministry of Women and Child Development has developed an online system where applicants can register and select a child for adoption. The Child Adoption Resource Information and Guidance System(CARINGS), designed by the National Informatics Centre, is to serve as the medium for sharing information about children up for adoption and their photographs. The process will first be implemented for domestic users before its extension to the international users.

Benefits:
• Simpler process which obviates paperwork.
• Interested parents will not have to wait for an inordinate amount of time (Currently it takes a minimum of 6 months to adopt a child).

This move emphasises on the concern for the welfare of the under –eighteens who have not been fortunate to be associated with their biological parents, one of their basic rights.
