present proceedings and as mandated by Regulation 12 (6) of the
said Regulations, proceedings in this case were held in camera.

8. During arguments, learned counsel for applicant took
me through the above described factual matrix and documentary
record in the light of relevant legal provisions.
9. Statutory law related to adoptions is dealt with,
amongst other enactments, by chapter VIII of the Juvenile Justice
(Care and Protection) Act, 2015, the basic purpose behind the
process of adoption being to ensure the right to family for the
orphaned, abandoned and surrendered children. Earlier, adoptions
were fundamentally governed by the Hindu Adoption and
Maintenance Act, the Guardian and Wards Act and guidelines laid
down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the case titled
Lakshmi Kant Pandey vs. Union of India, AIR 1984 SC 469, on
the basis whereof, Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA)
came into existence. Upon enactment of the Juvenile Justice (Care
and Protection) Act, 2015, the Central Adoption Resource Authority
G.P. No. 21/17 Welfare Home for Children Vs. Travis Todd Brady Ors. Page 8 of 20 pages
was granted legislative recognition and was reconstituted as Central
Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) vide Section 68 of the said
Act. In the exercise of powers conferred by clause (c) of Section 68
read with clause (3) of Section 2 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and
Protection) Act, 2015, Central Adoption Resource Authority framed
Adoption Regulations, 2017, which have been notified by the
Central Government on 04.01.2017.
10. Sections 56 to 73 of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015,
forming chapter VIII of the Act deal with various aspects related to
adoption and lay down the mandate of law to operate as the testing
parameters to adjudge legality of an adoption. All intercountry
adoptions have to be in strict adherence with the provisions of
chapter VIII of the Act and a person who takes or sends a child to a
foreign country or takes part in any arrangement for transferring the
care and custody of a child to another person in a foreign country,
without a valid order from the court is liable to punishment under
the provisions of Section 80 of the Act.
11. Section 57 of the Act lays down the eligibility of the
prospective adoptive parents, to the effect that PAPs must be
physically fit, financially sound, mentally alert and highly motivated
to adopt a child for providing good upbringing to the child; that in
case of couple, consent of both spouses for adoption is required
G.P. No. 21/17 Welfare Home for Children Vs. Travis Todd Brady Ors. Page 9 of 20 pages
while a single or divorced person can adopt subject to fulfillment of
the criteria and in accordance with the adoption regulations framed
by the authority, though a single male is not eligible to adopt a girl
child.
12. Section 59 of the Act, relevant for present purposes,
lays down in details the procedure to be adopted for intercountry
adoption of an orphan or abandoned or surrendered child. If an
orphan or an abandoned or surrendered child could not be placed
with an Indian or a nonresident Indian PAP, despite the joint efforts
of the Specialized Adoption Agency (SAA) and State Agency (SA)
within 60 days from the declaration of the child to be legally free for
adoption, the said child shall be free for intercountry adoption,
provided that children with physical and mental disabilities, siblings
and children above 5 years of age may be given preference over
other children for such intercountry adoption in accordance with
the regulations. An eligible nonresident Indian or overseas citizen
of India or persons of Indian origin have to be given priority in
intercountry adoption of Indian children.
13. Person(s), who is or are PAP(s) living abroad,
irrespective of their religion, if interested to adopt an orphan,
abandoned or surrendered child from India, may apply for the same
to an Authorized Foreign Adoption Agency or Central Authority or
G.P. No. 21/17 Welfare Home for Children Vs. Travis Todd Brady Ors. Page 10 of 20 pages
a concerned Government department in the country of their habitual
residence in the manner as provided in the Adoption Regulations.
The Authorized Foreign Adoption Agency / Central Authority
concerned shall prepare a Home Study Report of such PAPs and
upon finding them eligible, will sponsor their application to the
authority for adoption of a child from India. Upon receipt of such
application of PAPs, if the authority finds the PAPs suitable, it will
refer the application to one of the SAA where children legally free
for adoption are available. The SAA shall match the legally free for
adoption child with the PAPs and send the Child Study Report and
the Medical Report of the child to the PAPs, who may accept the
child and return the Child Study Report and Medical Report, duly
signed by them to the said agency. Upon receipt of acceptance of the
child from the PAPs, the SAA shall file an application in the court
for obtaining the adoption order in the manner as provided under the
Adoption Regulations. On receipt of certified copy of the court
order, the SAA shall send the same immediately to the authority,
State Agency and PAPs and obtain passport for the child. The
authority shall intimate about the adoption to the immigration
authorities of India and the receiving country of the child. The
PAPs shall receive the child in person from the SAA as soon as the
passport and visa are issued to the child. The Authorized Foreign
Adoption Agency or Central Authority concerned shall ensure the
submission of progress report of the child in the adoptive family and
G.P. No. 21/17 Welfare Home for Children Vs. Travis Todd Brady Ors. Page 11 of 20 pages
shall be responsible for making alternate arrangement in case of any
disruption, in consultation with the authority and concerned Indian
Diplomatic Mission.
14. Section 61 of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 lays down
that before issuing an adoption order, the court shall satisfy itself
that the adoption is for welfare of the child; that due consideration
has been given to the wishes of the child, having regard to the age
and understanding of the child; that there has been no monetary
transaction or reward in consideration of the adoption, except by
way of adoption fees or service charges or child care corpus, as
contemplated by the Adoption Regulations.
15. The Specialized Adoption Agencies (SAA) derive their
existence from the recognition granted by the State Government in
accordance with the Adoption Regulations vide Section 65 (1) of the
Juvenile Justice Act for the purposes of rehabilitation of orphan,
abandoned and surrendered children through adoption and non
institutional care. It is the duty of SAAs to get an orphan or
abandoned or surrendered child declared legally free for adoption
from the concerned Child Welfare Committee and also to complete
the Home Study Report of the PAPs and to move application for
obtaining adoption order from the court within stipulated time.
Failure on the part of SAAs in fulfilling the said duties entails
G.P. No. 21/17 Welfare Home for Children Vs. Travis Todd Brady Ors. Page 12 of 20 pages
punishment and derecognition, as contemplated by Section 65 (4)
of the Act.
16. Section 66 of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015
contemplates that all the institutions registered under the Act shall
ensure that all orphan or abandoned or surrendered children under
their care are reported, produced and declared legally free for
adoption by the Child Welfare Committee.
17. In that regard, Section 38 of the Act lays down the
procedure for declaring a child legally free for adoption. In case of
an orphan and abandoned child, the Child Welfare Committee is
under a duty to make efforts for tracing out the parents or guardian
of the child and if after such enquiry, it is established that the child
is either an orphan or abandoned, the Committee shall declare the
child legally free for adoption and such a declaration has to be made
within a period of two months from the date of production of the
child aged upto two years and within four months for the child aged
above two years. In case of a surrendered child, the SAA or the
child supervising authority where the child has been placed by the
Committee on an application for surrender, shall bring the case
before the Committee immediately upon completion of two months
of surrender, as contemplated by Section 35 (3) of the Act and the
committee shall declare the child legally free for adoption.

18. Falling back to the present case, as mentioned above,
the said child namely Remi Amrita Brady is in care and custody of
the applicant Welfare Home for Children, which is recognized as
SAA and the said child has been declared legally free for adoption
by the Child Welfare Committee; on the other hand, the PAPs are
foreigners residing in USA and on the basis of Home Study Report,
they have been found eligible and suitable to adopt a child and their
proposal to adopt a child from India has been recommended by the
Authorized Foreign Adoption Agency, namely Holt International
Agency. As also mentioned above, the reference of the said child

G.P. No. 21/17 Welfare Home for Children Vs. Travis Todd Brady Ors. Page 16 of 20 pages
said child Amrita; and no monetary transaction or reward in
consideration of the adoption is being undertaken.
21. As regards welfare of the said child, Home Study
Report Ex. RW1/3 reflects that PAP no. 1, born on 11.11.1976
presently aged about 41 years is having a decree of PhD Ed. in
Administration and is employed as Instructional Coordinator and
his annual salary is $ 71,003 while PAP No. 2 born on 14.07.1987
presently aged about 30 years is having a degree of B.Ed. and
Bachelor in Human Science and is employed as Elementary School
Teacher and her annual salary is $ 43,231. The social worker who
carried out the Home Study Report of PAPs has recorded extensive
details of the past history of both PAPs, parental families of both
PAPs, finding the said families close knit and successful. After
recording extensive details related to personal, professional and
family history of PAPs, traversing through their social and family
environment, motivation to adopt, health and housing etc, the social
worker who carried out the Home Study Report of PAPs concluded
that the PAPs are suitable to face upbringing and education of child
and they would give all their affection, resources and capacity to
help the child grow in comprehensive manner since at a personal
level PAPs have high level of maturity and stability; PAPs have a
very harmonious relationship as a family; PAPs do not suffer from
any infectious, contagious or mental illness that could prevent them
from adopting a minor; PAPs have a good and stable occupation,
G.P. No. 21/17 Welfare Home for Children Vs. Travis Todd Brady Ors. Page 17 of 20 pages
which would allow them to bring up child without any difficulty;
PAPs live in excellent conditions and environment, favourable for
perfect development of a child; and PAPs have no criminal record.
Home Study Report Ex. RW1/3 coupled with photographs Ex.
RW1/9 amply establish that PAPs are physically fit, financially
sound, mentally alert and highly motivated to adopt a child for
providing her a good upbringing.
22. As regards illness of the said child Amrita, a specific
affidavit of proposed adoptive parents specifying that they are
aware about the ailment suffered by the child and having known that
they have opted to adopt that child has also been filed.
23. As also reflected from the above described record, both
PAPs have expressed their consent and willingness to adopt the said
child Amrita after going through the Child Study Report and
Medical Examination Report Ex. PW1/4 which describe Amrita as
happy and cheerful child and loves to play and smile but suffering
from congenital heart disease.
24. Going by the above circumstances, I am satisfied that it
would be in welfare of the said child Amrita now named Remi
Amrita Brady to give her in adoption to the PAPs for being brought
up as their child.
G.P. No. 21/17 Welfare Home for Children Vs. Travis Todd Brady Ors. Page 18 of 20 pages
25. Therefore, the adoption application is allowed and it is
ordered that the said child Amrita now named Remi Amrita Brady,
born on 19.06.2015 be given in adoption to the PAPs Mr Travis
Todd Brady and his wife Mrs Kaysha Elizabeth Brady as their
daughter with effect from 16.01.2018 and thereby, henceforth the
said child Amrita now named Remi Amrita Brady has become the
adopted child of the PAPs namely Mr Travis Todd Brady and his
wife Mrs Kaysha Elizabeth Brady, who have in turn henceforth
become adoptive parents of the said child Amrita now named Remi
Amrita Brady. As regards prayer clauses (b) (c) of the
application, for issuance of birth certificate and passport, necessary
steps in accordance with clauses 18 and 36 of the Adoption
Regulations, 2017 be taken by the concerned authorities.
26. The petitioner shall file regular reports on post
adoption follow up in order to ascertain the progress and well
being of the said child to this Court as envisaged under Section
59 (11) of the Juvenile Justice Act for a period of two years from
the date of the order.
27. The requisite certificate in respect of adoption of the
said child bearing photographs of the said child and the adoptive
parents be issued. In order to maintain confidentiality, as laid down
