The case of St Theresa's Tender Loving Care Home And Others v. State Of A.P. represents a significant judicial examination of the frameworks governing child adoption in India, particularly focusing ... on inter-country adoption. The appellants, a society registered under the Andhra Pradesh (Telangana Area) Public Societies Registration Act, sought permission to arrange the adoption of a five-year-old child, Sahiti, by foreign nationals residing in the USA. The core issues revolved around the legitimacy of the adoption process initiated by Appellant 1 (St Theresa's Tender Loving Care Home), the adherence to national guidelines on child welfare and adoption, and the safeguarding of children against exploitation and trafficking. This case underscored the judiciary's role in interpreting and enforcing policies that prioritize the welfare of abandoned and vulnerable children.
