NEW DELHI: A five-year-old boy, who was abandoned at Old Delhi railway station when he was barely a year old, has found a Spanish mother with a trial court observing that it would be in the boy's "best interest" if he is given in adoption to the Barcelona-based woman.
The court's order came on a petition of SOS Children's Village of India, a charitable society, seeking that the minor be given in adoption to 46-year-old Natalia Folch Molero and she be allowed to take the child to Spain.
Allowing the petition, the court noted that Molero had given an undertaking that she will look after the minor in the best possible manner and "to the best of her ability". However, while allowing the plea, the court imposed several conditions and directed her to execute a personal bond of Rs 10 lakh and she should take care of the minor, educate him and bring him to India before the court as and when required.
