'Missionaries of Charity to follow rule on child adoption'


New Delhi, Oct 29 (IANS): Union Minister Maneka Gandhi said on Monday that the Missionaries of Charity would henceforth follow the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) rules on child adoption.

"Met the delegation of Missionaries of Charity (MoC)-led by Sister Mary Prema Pierick, who is heading the organisation after Mother Teresa.

"I requested them to come back into the CARA system of adoption so that children in the 79 MoC homes can go into family care," the Minister for Women and Child Development tweeted.

In 2015, the Ministry had issued a protocol allowing single, divorced, and separated individuals to participate in adoption services.

However, the MoC, which has a policy of only placing children with a married mother and father, stating that it violated natural law and their religious views, had decided not to follow it.

The Minister said Sister Prema has agreed to her request and would be on board with present laws on child adoption.

    Best thing is Don't adopt any child. There are other Missionaries doing better work for the society without adopting children.

    By imposing unwanted systems by force for established organisations you are not only weakening the institution but also promoting imbalance. This will lead more unnatural deaths and criminal activities which will go unnoticed.
    Should concentrate how to reduce deaths, rapes & murder will get punya.

    Maneka Gandhi you first learn the service from well disciplined missionary of charity but not your Govt.sponsored child Seva Kendra where reported recently series of child molestation sexual abuse.
    Look like you are under the pressure from Nagpur chaddi group to deliver the action on catholic missionaries.
