Delhi High Court Seeks CARA Response on Custody Plea for Intellectually Disabled Adopted Boy
A widowed woman in Noida has petitioned the Delhi High Court to transfer custody of her 14-year-old adopted son, diagnosed with mild intellectual disability, to government or private care without ending the adoption. The boy, adopted in 2018 through the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA), has exhibited behavioural issues including aggression, theft, and inappropriate conduct, leading to multiple school expulsions. The court has sought responses from CARA and related authorities and will hear the case on September 30.
