@Jasp_C @MinistryWCD @AdoptionAction @PAALONAA @waic_campaign Two wrongs cannot make a right. Unwanted pregnancy should not mean abandonment. Give the baby its right to live a healthy and safe life. #SafeSurrender.

[Jaspreet Chandhok @Jasp_C]

Unwed mothers face such stigma that r often left with abandonment as an only option. Only if they knew about #SafeSurrender their child cud be safely added in legal adoption pool

A very important thread on #InfantSafety and #SafeSurrender

#Referralupdate. The registered dates covered so far. No movement from last week. Also the timeline for reserving the child matched with parents/ your referral is now back to 48 hours. #CARA #AdoptioniInIndia #AdoptionDelays

[Sharada D B @DBS2901]

@AdoptionAction @lijianto @TriptiGurha @CARAWCD @MinistryWCD It's taking over 3 yrs to get the 2 magical words 'Profile Matched'. How so ready are we PAPs to say 'Referral Received/Accepted'. #Cantwaitnomore.

[Adoption Action Group @AdoptionAction]

Another one of those #ReferralMondays! And the anxiety, thrill, uncertainty & butterflies in the stomach cannot be summed up better than this 😀 We are all with you in this @lijianto #MyStoryofAdoption #AdoptionAwareness #AdoptiveParentsUnited @TriptiGurha .@CARAWCD @MinistryWCD

@AdoptionAction @CARAWCD No system support for PAPs in waiting...neither technical nor human. The cries of agony of both parents and children in waiting is going unheard by the concerned agencies!

[Adoption Action Group @AdoptionAction]

Post #Diwali a lot of PaPs registered with .@CARAWCD woke up to an increase in seniority! As high as 40-50 nos in a few cases. Seniority reflects a change in the system. It decreases as you move closer to yr referral. It's confusing & no one has a clue including #CARA's helpline.

[Adoption Action Group @AdoptionAction]

"Around 30000 couples have registered for adoption. But only 2,989 children are available. Therefore, there was a “huge prospect for grey market of adoption, and which has been thriving due to cumbersome, lengthy, tedious procedure under the CARA”

#referralupdate (As of 1st Nov 2021)

A compilation every PaP waits for! @CARAWCD we need to bring back referrals to twice a week and ensure SAAs are equipped to facilitate this. This is what was commited to #AdoptiveParentsUnited

[Adoption Action Group @AdoptionAction]

THIS is the extent of delay for #NRIs & OCIs registered with #CARA. On paper they are at par with resident Indians. If the rules are different they need to be told. If the timelines are different it needs to be on record. Why conceal information? .@MinistryWCD .@CARAWCD

[Puja Iyengar @IyengarPuja]

If you know any NRI who got referral recently please let me and @Mishmash2021 know
Our AFAA hasn’t placed any child since april (as of two weeks ago)
This is the whole reason for the angst. No one including CARA is able to tell us what’s happening and why. @AdoptionAction

"A study by @waic_campaign revealed..most shelters keep children indefinitely, surviving on donations from public until they r old enough to fend for themselves." Children in shelter homes need to be assessed for legal adoption within 1 month of admission. https://t.co/pz2VXrqAO0

[Tara Narula @taranarula1]

Wait times for adoption have been steadily increasing, (now >3yrs for children under 6). @CARAWCD @MinistryWCD @NCPCR_ you need to give this some attention, #CNCP shld not be deprived of right to family! @smritiirani @UNICEFIndia @thesushmitasen @mandybedi @karanjohar

@AdoptionAction @CARAWCD Every Child Deserves A Family

[Adoption Action Group @AdoptionAction]

Incomplete medical reports, lethargy in response, no quick action when adoption agencies reach out to @CARAWCD leads to #AdoptiveParents loosing many many months. With no response to emails, cases remain pending #AdoptionDelays #AdoptionInIndia #Waiting4MyChild #MannKiBaat (6/1)

[Adoption Action Group @AdoptionAction]

#AdoptionDelay has mental/financial/emotional impact on adoptive families. It has put the future of families & children at stake #AdoptiveParentsUnited put their lives & careers on hold in an uncertain wait. This CAN be fixed @MinistryWCD @SmritiIraniOffc @PMOIndia @CARAWCD (8/1)

Help us bring our child home soon. We believe #Achedinayenge soon.
