The couple — a teacher and a nurse — adopted the child after a yearlong process. They are expected to fly soon, said adoption agency officials.

Kishan was found from the city streets about three years ago and he’s been with the Odhav observation home for past two years. K K Nirala, district collector, wished Kishan and the couple for their better future. “He was loved by everyone at the centre. I would also like to thank the support staff that raises these kids,” he said.

Talking about the adoption process, the Castills told reporters that they had been trying for the past couple of years for the adoption. “I have always loved India for the people, culture, beauty and diversity. That is the reason my husband and I applied for adoption in India. This way, we can be part of this cultural experience. Kishan is the perfect completion to our family,” said Kristen.

John added that the child is a ‘gift from the above’ and he was meant to be with them. The adoption agency officials said that they conduct regular follow-ups with adopted parents and kids to ensure well-being of the child.

My roots trip to India, the end of a quest

My roots trip to India, the end of a quest

It's the beginning, not the end

Honestly, I never thought I could write this blog. But look, it's here now. My motto to “never give up” has brought me to where I am today. Regardless of how you look at it now. The whole roots thing is a huge roller coaster of emotions. While I can easily put things into perspective otherwise, this is a completely different story.

Once you are in that flow of such a search for your roots. Well, actually you don't know what you're looking for or what you're going to find and everyone answers that question in their own way. But once that train has left, it is not always easy to keep a balanced approach to it. Those emotions, it grabs you by the throat. You are completely taken in by it and before you know it you are completely swept up in it. And all you can do is trust that it will all work out, someday.

‘Cultuur zit in je DNA, je draagt een andere geschiedenislijn met je mee’

Mumbai: In a unique case of adoption, the Bombay High Court last week hailed a Ghatkopar-based couple for adopting a seven-month-old girl child. The HC said the couple must be appreciated for adopting a girl child despite already having a daughter.

A bench of Justice Girish Kulkarni appreciated this 'approach' of the couple, saying it should set as an example for the 'patriarch' society.

The judge personally met the adoptive parents in his chambers and interacted with them especially because of the 'motivation' letter, they annexed to their plea, describing why they were motivated to adopt a child.

“I had an interaction with the adoptive parents and more particularly on reading their motivation letter. It appears that the adoptive parents were quite determined right from the beginning to have another child in adoption,” Justice Kulkarni said.

“They had accordingly visited several adoption homes and had studied on their future plans to take another child in adoption. They were also motivated by a book titled as Bal Anand (Umang), which was received by them from Bal Anand Ashram,” Justice Kulkarni noted.

The Spanish company Almirall will test the drug, which targets psoriasis

The genetics testing company 23andMe licensed the rights to a drug it developed in-house to a Spanish pharmaceutical company, Bloomberg reported. This is the first time that the company has directly sold a product it created using the genetic information collected from users.

23andMe has already shared genetic data with pharmaceutical companies. GlaxoSmithKline has the exclusive rights to use its data for drug development, and purchased a $300 million stake in the company in 2018. But those drug companies use the company’s data to create their own drugs. In this case, 23andMe identified a drug candidate and conducted animal studies on that drug internally before selling it. The Spanish company, Almirall, will take the product through human trials.

“We’ve now gone from database to discovery to developing a drug,” Emily Drabant Conley, 23andMe’s vice president of business development, told Bloomberg.

The company’s repository of genetic and health data is a gold mine for drug development because researchers can look for relationships between particular genes and health outcomes and target them with therapeutics. The company has genetic data on around 10 million people, and it says around 80 percent agreed to let their anonymized data be used for research, including drug research. The terms of service say that customers who agree to let their data be used will not see any financial benefit, even if that data helps develop a blockbuster drug.

G.S. Kulkarni, J.:— This is a foreign adoption petition wherein the petitioner, Bal Asha Trust, Bal Asha Dham, Anand Niketan, Dr. E. Moses Road, Mahalaxmi, Mumbai-400011, a recognized adoption agency alongwith the co-petitioners Mr. Fabil Maria Parodi and his wife Mrs. Elena Nerozzi, both of whom are Italian nationals having their address at Corso Roma 9-15121 Alessandria (AL), Italy, are before the court praying that male minor “Yuvraj” born on 15 July 2012 be granted in adoption to the proposed adopters.

3. Thereafter, on an inquiry as undertaken as per Section 38 of the Juvenile Justice Act by an order dated 10 April 2019, the CWC declared minor Yuvraj legally free for adoption. A certificate to that effect is placed on record. The proposal for adoption in question by the adoptive parents was also considered by the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA), New Delhi by issuing a No Objection Certificate dated 13 September 2019 to this adoption as per Adoption Regulation 2017 and Article 17(c) of the Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and cooperation in respect of Inter-Country Adoption 1993.

4. Insofar as the adoptive parents are concerned, they are Italian nationals residing at address noted above. They have been married for past 16 years (Date of Marriage 18 May 2003) with no biological children. The adoptive parents have however, already adopted two sons aged 15 years and 11 years from Italy and China respectively. The citizenship certificates of the adoptive parents, consent letters and health reports are placed on record, also a family photograph and passport copies of the adoptive parents are also placed on record.

5. Insofar as the health of the adoptive parents is concerned, a report dated 10 September 2019 records that both the adoptive parents enjoy good physical and mental health and are not affected by any psycho-physical pathology and as a result both of them are healthy with a strong constitution.
