Hi Birds,

 

Greetings!!

 

I have a very good news to share with you all. Today I met Ms. Padmavathi who is the Child Welfare Committee member of Rangareddy Dt. She also acts as a Trustee of KGNM (Kasturba Gandhi National Memorial) Trust, Hydershakote, Bandlaguda, Hyd.

 

I shared about PGCAI with her. She mentioned that now Adoption Policies have become friendly and authority has been given to District Officials as well to give children for adoption.

 

As per her, this is the process:

 

1. The interested parents should submit an application at Sisu Vihar.

Now 2011 applications are being considered in AP. Till then all requests are addressed)

2. The officials will conduct home study. 
3. Once this is completed, they invite the parents to the Home and show them the children who match their features.

4. Once the parents select a child, they will send the child with the parents for a 3-day stay. 

5. If everything is ok and the child gets along well with the parents and parents are happy with the child, then the final process of signing the documents would start.

6. The clause that the parents should inform the children that they are not biological but adopted is only for a caution but not mandatory and she mentioned that in Indian scenario, it is not possible as most of the parents might not agree for this clause.

 

Coming to single parents (unmarried youth) adopting children, as per rule, they will consider giving children of age above 10 years for Foster Care.

 

For any questions related to adoption and specially in AP, you can contact her at this ID: kgnmtrusthyd@gmail.com. She checks once in a day so we can expect a reply within 48 to 72 hours or in a worst case scenario, in a week to 10 days time.

 

She also mentioned that once we apply in Sishu Vihar and can give a copy to her, she will try to speed up the process.

Thank you.

PRASANTHI.
