VADODARA: The 18-month-old baby girl, who was found abandoned outside a temple in Atladara, is still waiting for her biological parents. But several couples have come forward since Sunday to adopt her.

She was given the new name by authorities at child care home in Nizampura, who call her Priyanshi.

Police sources said that many couples contacted Manjalpur police station on Sunday as well as Monday. Besides contacting the cops, the child care home was also contacted on Monday for adoption details of the girl. However, their requests were turned down since the Juvenile Justice (care and protection) Act does not allow adoption as of now.

Sources at the child care home said that according to the law, nobody can adopt the girl until 90 days are over. "The police may be able to find her parents or probably her parents may come forward within that period so until then she will stay at child care home," said the source.

Member of Parliament Ranjan Bhatt also visited Priyanshi at the child care home on Monday morning and gave her some toys.

A retainer agreement is a work for hire contract. It falls between a one-time contract and full-time employment.[1] Its distinguishing feature is that the employer pays in advance for work to be specified later. The purpose of a retainer fee is to ensure payment for future services or work to be rendered.

A retainer agreement may incorporate other contractual provisions regarding the performance of services, or the parties may potentially enter into additional contracts that define the other terms of their working relationship. A retainer fee may be paid on a fixed, pre-negotiated rate or on a variable hourly rate depending on the nature of retainer and also, the practice of the professional being retained.

Legal services Edit

It is common for a person seeking the services of a lawyer (attorney) to pay a retainer ("retainer fee") to the lawyer, to see a case through to its conclusion.[2] A retainer can be a single advance payment or a recurring (e.g. monthly) payment.[3] Absent an agreement to the contrary, a retainer fee is refundable if the work is not performed.[3][4]

The retainer agreement may serve as the basis of authority for a legal advocate. It may limit a lawyer's authority to specific tasks or services, as opposed to providing authority for general purposes. For example, if a lawyer is hired for purposes of litigation, during litigation the advocate will normally be authorized by the client to accept service of documents for which personal service upon the client is not required. In addition to being formally described in a retainer agreement, a client's grant of authority to an attorney may be implied, apparent or usual through the normal practice of the legal professional in providing representation to a client.[5]

Foreign adoption under police escort

(Avail. Also in English.)

Two days before Christmas Eve, 22 December 2017, Adam Krupi?ski, a Polish citizen at the age of 11, was taken to the airport in a police convoy and expelled from Poland for foreign adoption, probably to Italy, in a flagrant violation of Art. 52 of the Polish Constitution and art. 6 and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The child objected to the previous attempt of his foreign adoption, saying that he would rather kill himself than go abroad and leave his beloved grandmother, mother and siblings. His family was not informed about the adoption proceedings in court or about the expulsion of a child from his homeland.

Over one thousand children are without families in Latvia. “Empty the orphanages”, but there are increasing number of children in half of them

The government’s commitment is to find a family for the 1,200 children currently living in "social care centres.” But foster care and adoption procedures are complicated and not very widespread. On top of this stands the problem of foreign adoptions. The Archbishop of Riga, Msgr. Zbignevs Stankevics, said: "When you help a child, you are helping God inside him.” The "Repairing childhood" initiative is ongoing.

Global effort to get kids out of orphanages gains momentum

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Soft toys on the beds and posters on the walls. No more than three children to a room. One of the girls living in the four-bedroom home gushes about getting makeup for her birthday.

In this group home on a leafy street in Bucharest, Romania’s orphanage nightmares seem far away.

The horror stories, along with images of hollow-eyed children lying in row upon row of dilapidated cribs, emerged quickly after the 1989 toppling of Communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu: shocking accounts of thousands of children beaten, starved and humiliated in overcrowded, underfunded state-run orphanages.

“There was no heating, no windows, no bedding, no running water,” recalled Rupert Wolfe Murray, a British freelance journalist who accompanied an aid convoy that reached an institution for disabled children soon after Ceausescu’s fall. In a single year in the 1980s, 30 children had died of cold, malnutrition and disease, according to records found at the orphanage, said Rupert, who joined the aid effort there after he saw the appalling conditions.
