Wanting to do good must be matched by knowing the right thing to do in the circumstance, and in the case of children, be guided by child-centric policies. Whether the recent recommendation of a parliamentary panel to bring more <strong>abandoned (leave in the lurch) <\/strong>children into the adoption process will fulfil these parameters is an issue that <strong>warrants (Provide adequate grounds to justify (a certain course of action)) <\/strong>further discussion. A recent report, \u201cReview of Guardianship and Adoption Laws\u201d, by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Personnel, Public Grievances and Law and Justice has pointed to the huge mismatch between the number of people wanting to adopt children and the number of children legally available for adoption, and suggested that the way to remedy that would be to ensure that \u201corphan and abandoned children found begging on the streets\u2026 are made available for adoption at the earliest\u201d. To do so, it has suggested periodic district surveys to identify children who are orphaned\/abandoned. The report argued that in a country with millions of orphans, only 2,430 children were available for adoption. It is true that there are always more people wanting to adopt children than the number of children actually available for adoption; it has been so historically, but the increasing <strong>chasm (a wide divergence of feelings, sentiments, interests, etc)<\/strong>, as the report indicates, will undoubtedly have to be addressed. According to the report, there were 27,939 prospective parents registered with the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) as on December 2021, from nearly 18,000 in 2017. There were 6,996 orphaned, abandoned and surrendered children residing in childcare institutions considered adoptable, but only 2,430 were declared legally free for adoption by Child Welfare Committees. It claimed that the waiting time for adoption had increased to three years from one year, in the past five years. The total number of children adopted in 2021-22 was only 3,175.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the process of adoption in the country was tightened \u2014 procedurally and legally \u2014 in response to <strong>rampant (Unrestrained and violent) <\/strong>malpractices and inter-country adoption <strong>rackets (An illegal enterprise (such as extortion or fraud or drug peddling or prostitution) carried on for profit)<\/strong>. CARA was installed as the nodal body for in-country and inter-country adoptions, to monitor and regulate the process, ensuring through <strong>stringent (Demanding strict attention to rules and procedures) <\/strong>rules that the adoption is in the best interests of the child, and no illegality is involved. While the parliamentary committee has interpreted that there is automatic happiness when a child in an institution is placed in a home, it is important to exercise caution. No doubt, the country should take care of its children orphaned due to circumstances, but even as it acknowledges that <strong>institutionalisation (Establish as a normal practice) <\/strong>may be <strong>detrimental (causing harm) <\/strong>over the long term, it should pay equal attention to the finer aspects of child care, and allow itself to be guided by a child-centric philosophy. There are no shortcuts in ensuring orphaned children come to no harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improve your word-power with the help of this daily recurring series where we analyze the difficult words published in prominent editorials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":23696,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[69],"class_list":["post-23695","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-vocabulary","tag-editorials-difficult-words-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Hindu Editorial Vocabulary\u2013 Aug 18, 2022;
