Today, some people are offering infants for instant adoption by stating how the children have lost their parents to pandemic. However, such adoptions are illegal. The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) law was enacted in 2015. The Juvenile Justice Act is a secular law, all persons are free to adopt children under this law. The Juvenile Justice Rules of 2016 and the Adoption Regulations of 2017 followed to create the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA). CARA is a statutory body for the regulation, monitoring and control of all intra-country and inter-country adoptions. CARA also grants a ‘no objection’ certificate for all inter-country adoptions, pursuant to India becoming a signatory to the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoptions. India is also a signatory to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Thus, protections afforded to children became a legal mandate of all authorities and courts. Persons professing the Hindu religion are also free to adopt under the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act of 1956. Rehabilitation of all orphaned, abandoned and surrendered children is regulated by the strict mandatory procedures of the Adoption Regulations. CARA must conduct an outreach programme on social media, newspapers and TV, warning everyone not to entertain any illegal adoption offers under any circumstances whatsoever. The National and State Commissions for Protection of Child Rights must step up their roles as vigilantes. Social activists, NGOs and enlightened individuals must report all the incidents that come to their notice. At the same time, the media must publicise this and the police authorities need to be extra vigilant in apprehending criminals.
