Indore Bachelor becomes the youngest in India to adopt a special child
Aditya Tiwari, who was finally handed over Down’s syndrome after fighting for adoption for more than a year. This was probably the first time in the country that a single parent at such, young age had adopted a special child. MNC in Pune had been trying to adopt one-half-year old Binney since September 2014. He had to fight with authorities for the child suffering from a genetic disorder and a hole in his heart but had the wall as old norms did not allow single parents below 30 to adopt.
Decks were cleared when adoption rules changed from August 1 last year, bringing down the age to 25. Still, there was a delay of five months after the change in adoption norms. Aditya thanked Union Women and child development (WCD) minister Maneka Gandhi on the occasion, who had visited Matra Chhaya on August 27 last year where she had instructed authorities to hand over the child to him in a week.
