“adopted child is entitled to all legal rights”

“Air India stand on adoption not in consonance with Constitution”
The Hindu, Wednesday, Jul 29, 2009
Dear Editor,
While appalled that AIR India would attempt to deny benefits to a family whose child was in the legal process of adoption, I am heartened to see that the Court has upheld the child’s legal rights. The 21 month long struggle of R. R. George Christopher and Kristy Chandra paves the way for other families seeking to adopt in consonance with the law along with their personal or religious traditions. Let it be etched into our social conscience and never again have to appear in the headlines that “adopted child is entitled to all legal rights.”
