The Hindu
Messages on illegal adoption have been circulating on social media platforms as the second wave of COVID-19 rages on.
“For Adoption: If anyone wishes to adopt a girl, please feel free to contact Priyanka. One girl is three days old and another is six months old. They have lost their parents recently due to COVID-19. Please help these kids get a new life, spread the word.” Such messages on illegal adoption have been circulating on social media platforms as the second wave of COVID-19 rages on. Child rights activists want the government to create awareness on adoption measures and monitor such illegal adoption networks to prevent the trafficking of children. They also want the government to involve civil society organisations to monitor and follow up with families affected by COVID-19.
