Agencies
Any
destitute abandoned or orphaned child, is put in the care and custody of
recognised licensed agencies in India. Once a licensed institution receives a
destitute, abandoned or orphaned child, they try to gather as much information
as possible about the child. They open a separate file for the child mentioning
all the details like name, age, sex where the child was found, details of the
parents, if the child is surrendered etc. The agency will also carry out the
thorough medical checkup of the child to find out if there are any medical
problems. These details are put in the child's file and it is called Child
Study Report.
Any
parent desirous of adopting a child, can adopt through these recognised agencies
only. Anybody else other than recognised agencies are not authorised to do
adoption. Any adoption done by unrecognised agencies is unauthorised and
illegal. In Tamil Nadu, the Government has recognised 22 agencies to do In-country adoption
out of which 8 Agencies have been recognised to do Inter-country adoption also.
