Hello
Adoption is the process in which children who will not be raised by their birth parents become full and permanent legal members of another family.
Only children listed as available for adoption can be placed with new families.
During the investigation, police took the DNA sample of the survivor and her newborn but did not take the sample of the accused.
The court pointed this out when considering a plea moved by a woman challenging the decision of a Tahsildar refusing to grant her legal heir certificate.
The news of their adoption was warmly welcomed by her fans, and many people sent her Mother's Day wishes.
In its submission to the apex court, which is hearing pleas seeking legal validation for same-sex marriages, child rights body NCPCR argued that the concept of gender may be fluid but not mother and motherhood.
Kumar, who had gone into hiding, was taken into custody from a hideout in Madurai.
The police have recorded the statements from officials of the Government Medical College Hospital in connection with the case.
The newborn was handed over to the couple in Tripunithura within a week of delivery. The decision to give the baby up for adoption was taken weeks before the due date.
