Are you (CARA) going to say that you will have to go by the rules? Do rules say love and affection is immaterial? When the petitioner is best fit in all respects for adopting the child then we cannot go into technicalities,&#8221; Justice Kanade said.<\/p>\n<p>Government pleader D N Nalavade, appearing for CARA, argued that there are 8,693 Indian parents waiting in the adoption list.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The petitioner was supposed to take care of the child as a stop gap arrangement. But now she wants to adopt him. This will jeopardise the entire process and such jump cut in the waiting list cannot be allowed,&#8221; he argued.<\/p>\n<p>The child was born to an unwed woman who had put him in a Pune-based adoption agency. The adoption agency took care of him till the age of six after which he was sent to foster home and advertisements were issued for his adoption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If a child and his foster mother develop affinity towards each other, then rules for adoption need not be strictly followed as the child&#8217;s welfare is important and of utmost concern, the Bombay High Court said while continuing the custody of a six-year-old boy with his foster parents.
