Current Status of Adoption in Orissa

Adoption

In Orissa there are two Placement Agencies for inter-country adoption.

There is one Voluntary Coordinating Agency (VCA) in the State to coordinate all adoption-related activities and identify and promote adoption of children who are legally free for adoption. The VCA is also required to create awareness among the general public on the legal aspects of adoption, the guidelines on adoption and the procedures prescribed is circulated by the Government of India as well as to supervise the activities of childcare institutions in this field so as to curb illegal adoptions. In case any information through the media or otherwise on child abuse etc is received, an enquiry is made by the W&CD Department or the VCA. Sanjog an NGO has been nominated as the VCA in this State.

The State Government provides some financial support to the VCA for this purpose. The State Council for Child Welfare is the Scrutiny Agency which scrutinizes and processes applications for adoption.

There is a State Adoption Cell in the W&CD Department headed by Director, Social Welfare which monitors adoption-related activities. A State Level Executive Committee headed by the Secretary, W&CD Department also monitors/ reviews the activities of all the Agencies working in this area.

During 2004, 75 children were rehabilitated through in-country adoption and 64 through inter-country adoption while during 2005, 175 in-country and 49 inter-country adoptions have been promoted. Thus, 363 adoptions have been promoted in the State during the last two years.

Organizations. From 7th August 2004 Government have been pleased to increased the maintenance grant from Rs.300/- to
