The Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) is undergoing a process of linking all child-care institutions across India with one another, according to the article. This undertaking is aimed at increasing transparency in the adoption system and reducing illegal adoptions. This initiative will create a portal for prospective adoptive parents, in which they will register, cutting out “underhand” adoptions and dealings between adoption agencies and adoptive parents. The initiative will also create a database of children available for adoption.
