The legality of adoptions facilitated by the Kerala State Council for Child Welfare, Thiruvananthapuram, has come under cloud, with a court ruling that the agency lacked the mandatory recognition for facilitating adoptions.
It was while considering the recent adoption procedures initiated by the Council in the case of four abandoned children that the court issued the order.
Incidentally, the council was mired in controversy over the alleged illegal adoption of the baby of Anupama S. Chandran from Thiruvananthapuram.
