Summary:

On the recommendations from the CWC, I have ordered to shift the children to four specialised adoption agencies,” Trichy collector K Rajamani told TOI.Out of 23, 12 boys were and 11 girls. In the case of the 23 children here, they were being kept here for more than two years without being given up for adoption. So, action was taken seriously keeping in mind the welfare of the children,” said collector Rajamani.Repeated attempts to contact the administrators of Martin Children Home went in vain. It may be pointed out that the home did their best to keep the children despite their failure to get the license back. The specialised agencies will take care of the adoption process of the children,” said CWC chairperson S Indiragandhi on Tuesday evening.The children had been brought to Martin Children home from Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, Ariyalur, Namakkal, Salem and Erode areas as per the directions from CWC’s of the respective districts when the home had the license..
