This story illustrates the power of passion in driving transformation.
Six-year-old Amar Lal from Rajasthan lived a routine dictated by the nomadic lifestyle of the Banjara tribe, moving from quarry to quarry for labour with no regard for the calendar. In 2001, when Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi visited the quarry, it was a pivotal moment that changed the trajectory of Lal’s life. Satyarthi, a global advocate against child labour, recognised its potential perils, sparking a transformative journey for many children like Amar Lal. Recalling the day in 2001 during Satyarthi’s ‘Bachpan Bachao Andolan (Save Childhood Movement)’ rally in his village, Lal remembers being spotted by Satyarthi while carrying heavy boulders. A brief conversation led to Satyarthi convincing Lal’s parents that their child was destined for greater things. Today, as a lawyer advocating for child rights, Amar Lal dedicates his life to ensuring that every child has the opportunity for education and a future beyond the confines of child labour.

Working for a Child's Right to Family as the Co-founder & CEO of Where Are India's Children(waic.in)
There are so many things wrong with this article: 1. The headline lacks sensitivity and respect for the child involved. Instead of using "HC junks...", which sounds dismissive, the headline should convey the decision in a more dignified manner. 2. Adoption is a life-long commitment that involves accepting a child unconditionally, including both their strengths and challenges. It's essential to emphasise that adoption aims to provide a loving and supportive home for a child rather than seeking perfection. 3. In this article, it appears the parent is rewarded for returning the child, which undermines the integrity of the adoption process, instead the honourable High Court should have imposed consequences for such actions. 4. The well-being of the child who has formed attachments to their sibling and adoptive parents is of utmost importance. It's concerning that the existing child protection system may not adequately address their emotional needs after their return to the child shelter, highlighting the need for improved counselling and support services within the system. Furthermore, there's a crucial need for comprehensive training for prospective adoptive parents in India, similar to standards in other countries. Mandatory training and workshops should be a prerequisite for adoption applications, ensuring that parents are well-prepared to provide a nurturing environment for the children they intend to adopt. Ultimately, the focus should shift towards a child-centric approach within the adoption system, prioritizing the well-being and rights of children over the desires of prospective parents. Children are not commodities but individuals deserving of respect and care, and they must be treated as such within the adoption process. #betterheadlines #perfectbond #adoption #adoptionislove #unconditionallove #committmentforlife #badoutcome #fallibledecision #UnderstandingAdoption #adoptiontraining #AdoptionCounselling
