INDIAN ASSOCIATION FOR PROMOTION OF

ADOPTION & CHILD WELFARE (IAPA)

ANNUAL REPORT – 2014-2015

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE :

We are pleased to present the Annual Report of the IAPA for

the year 2014-15. At the end of the reporting year IAPA entered

45th year of its existence.

In all these years IAPA has constantly endeavoured to protect

interests of children who belong to socially as well as

economically under-privileged sections of society. The primary

aim of the programmes and services of IAPA has been to

ensure that the child receives personalized care and nurture in

a family and has encouraging environment for education and

healthy development. The approach in achieving the goals has

been multi-pronged. It has also been evolving in response to

cumulative experiences resulting in additions, expansions and

recasting programmes for effective outcomes.

Adoption programme has witnessed many changes since the

time that IAPA played a pioneer role in promoting the concept

and its practice. Along with the amendments in the legislations

for care and protection of children, the government policies and

procedures are undergoing changes. This has increased the work

load to comply with the additional requirements, even with the

drop in the number of children coming under custody for care

and rehabilitation through adoption.

The outcomes in terms of numbers of students sponsored and

their achievements has been very rewarding. Not only have we

been able to sustain students through the High School but seen

many through university exams with flying colours. Under the

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) mandate, Capri Global

Finanace Ltd has provided students who have fared well in

2

Board/University exams with all educational cost, including a

stipend for university education.

Value Education Pogrammes, in collaboration with the

N.M. Budharani Trust has grown in terms of the number of

student beneficieries and the schools covered in the slum pockets

of the suburbs of West Mumbai.

In the Rural Project at Terewayangani again the Std. X results

were 100%. This has also brought state recognition for the

school and has increased the number of students. Moreover,

supports of our esteemed donors and supporters has encouraged

some to go further for college and vocational education. The

TdH Denmark has continued to be our strong partner. Chance

of Life has now reached out to girls and women to engage in

self-development through intervention of a locally based

professional worker.

Other support services of Micro Finance, Vocational Training

for women, Child Guidance and Asmita Project continue to

enrich lives of children and families we work with.

We place on record our deep appreciation of the interest and

support of our many donors, partners and well wishers. Last

but not the least, we recognize the services of our team of

dedicated staff for their commitment to the goals of this

organization.

President, IAPA

FOSTER CARE & ADOPTION

The Foster Care and Adoption programme relates to family care

for orphaned, given up and abandoned children. It encompass several

different services to the child, the birth parent/s, Foster parents,

Adoptive parents and adoptees. The programme also includes

advocacy, promotion and publicity and adoption placement services.

ALTERNATIVE OF THE FOSTER FAMILY CARE

SERVICES :

Recognizing the value of personal care and nurture in a family

environment for healthy development of a child, from the start,

IAPA decided to depart from the common practice of setting up

a residential institution for child care. Instead, foster family care

services were started for children who were received in custody

for care; and rehabilitation through adoption. It took a while for

the authorities, conditioned to institutionalization, to validate our

alternative child care in 1997. Official recognition as a preferred

alternative, however, was given only in the year 2011, in the updated,

notified ‘Guidelines on Adoption 2011’ by the government.

The foster families are recruited as per the mandated Guidelines

and closely monitored. The families provide yoeman service. Many

have fostered several children over the years. In some instances

daughter / daughters in law have taken the mantle from their

mother / mothers-in-law, capitalizing on their respective experiences

in nurturing children.

All children who are placed under IAPA custody for care and

permanent rehabilitation are looked after by foster families, working

with IAPA. This includes children who could be restored to their

birth family as our first choice; or fostered on a long term basis

when their placement in adoption is not possible due to medical or

other issues.

took place during the year on the following topics :

1. Interpersonal relationship and confidence building

2. Parenting and Responsibility

3. Existential crisis with mothers and their adolescent children;

and good and bad touch

Appreciation :

We would like to put on record the unstinted support we have

received from the doctors, and donors towards medical assistance,

special nutrition and other resources in giving prompt and quality

care to our children. They are :

Ø Dr Anaita Udwadia Hegde (Pediatric Neurologist)

Ø Dr. Suresh Shah (pediatrician)

Ø Radhika,Devika, Vaishali Chatwani Trust and

Ø J.M.Financial ØPitru Tarpan Yatna - A Charitable Trust

ADOPTION SERVICES

The year 2014-15 too saw a series of services in connection with

adoption. Among them is offering information and guidance about

adoption service to national and international enquiries through the

phone, emails, walk in from the persons wanting to adopt and

friends/relatives. Only a few of these enquiries result in placement

of a child due to drastic reduction in the number of children

received in care.

Birth parent/s wishing to relinquish the child due to compelling

social reasons are extended guidance and support prior to and post

delivery processes. Generally, this includes mandated police

registration, work with the Hospital procedures and detailed paper

work entailed. It further includes helping the relinquishing parent

go with the child before the designated Child Welfare Committee

(CWC) for their approval and Orders. Such relinquishment

procedures are occasionally intercepted when a birth parent who

is given guidance and support by IAPA is led away at the last

moment, for private placement instead, under the pretext that the

mother or a close relative has decided to raise the child themselves.

There has been a continuous change in the social scene for adoption

influenced by changes in the social norms and attitudes to adoptive

parenthood as well as changes at the national level in legal

provisions, policies and processes aided by new technologies and

global influences. While the number of couples / persons seeking

adoptive parenthood across socio-economic spectrum has been going

up there is a precipitous drop in the number of children coming in

the adoption mainstream. Several factors may account for the

drop. It may include wider use of birth control measures or other

unknown reasons. However, it has also come to be known that

private handing over of the child is taking place to circumvent the

legal formalities.

To address the issue of unprotected placements, IAPA has taken

up a campaign of promoting safe surrender of children, to protect

the children and their long term secure rehabilitation.

An Occasion to Celebrate

Adoption of 15 yrs old Gaurav was a very happy occasion.

Gaurav was in foster care with the Kamble family since the

age of 11 months, and now he is legally adopted by them.

Earlier, a number of attempts to find a suitable adoptive family

for Gaurav had failed due to the challenging needs confronting

him. During his growing years he was diagnosed with multiple

disabilities resulting in delayed development. Gaurav needed

regular visit to a neurologist, adjustments to prescribed

medication, intense physiotherapy, special education and

tremendous TLC. In all this, the foster carers played a crucial

role of supporting Gaurav and encouraging him. This surely

paved the way for Gaurav’s progress – Gaurav has attained

remarkable change in his functionality inching towards near

normalcy. Gaurav needs to continue with his therapy and

medication. For this, IAPA continues to provide financial support

to his forever family.

Post-adoptive services :

Post adoption support is an integral part of adoption service. IAPA

is approached by adoptive parents and grown up adoptees for

help. The issues may concern identity-related papers such as for

a Passport for the adoptee or it may relate to psychosocial matter.

Social worker and therapist strive to extend the best help, as per

the need.

In the case of psycho-social issues, sessions are held individually

with parent/s, child, or jointly with parent/s and child depending

upon the concern and the intervention necessary. The concerns so

far have focused around behavior management resulting out of

disciplining, parents’ / child’s acceptance of adoption, concern outside

the family affecting the child/parent at home, issues between parents

affecting the family. Year 2014-15 saw a total of 4 cases being

handled. Two of these require long term on-going intervention.

The other two needed advice and referral.

6

Orientation meetings for the applicants, home study process, child

placement, legalization, follow up for two years following the

legalization and long past post-adoption, extension of support to

adoptees /adoptive families make up for a continually busy

programme needing skilled and sensitive approach.

Specialized Adoption Agency (SAA) Linkages :

For facilitating placement of children in institutions lacking

inter-country adoption license a system of linkages is devised by

the authorities. Under such linkage the Love Trust in Buldhana

took the help of IAPA for carrying out the process for legalizing

Inter-country adoption cases of children with special needs. The

age ranged from 2 to 11 years. The children had varied medical

issues such as congenital heart anomaly, vision impairment, club

foot and delayed milestones. Legalisation of 3 children was

completed this year.

An Interactive Session

with Adoptive Families

On 4th October 2014, an Interactive session

was held with adoptive parents, resourced

by the counsellor, Dr. Laura Vaz, to facilitate

sharing experiences and addressing issues. The

focus was on issues that were brought up during

the session by the participants. They were - child

disobeying parents & not engaging in anything

productive - child being ‘a slow learner’, having

low self-esteem and lacking confidence to pursue

a vocation. - sharing the fact of adoption Though

none of these issues had quick fix solutions,

Dr. Laura Vaz, the resource person drove home the

point that adoption per se is not a problem; the

parent-child relationship that develops lays the

foundation for challenges which go beyond

coping ability. The need for counselling

at the correct moment without

delay was reiterated.

rights that devolves on a biological child.

In addition to the individual counselling sessions, interactive group

sessions were conducted – one for adoptive parents and the other

for personnel from agencies placing children in adoption.

On 19th November 2014, IAPA organized an interactive

session on counselling with personnel from adoption

agencies in Mumbai. The same was conducted by

Dr. Laura Vaz, psychotherapist with input from

Dr. Nilima Mehta, adoption consultant. The importance

of working on the client’s attitude, and not behaviour

in isolation was emphasized. Once attitude changes,

behaviour which is a result of one’s

attitude would change.

and their parents were seen participating with fervor, and enjoying

the activities - fancy dress, dance and song performances. A special

heart-warming moment of the evening was the spontaneous

expression by Mrs. Seema Gomes, senior foster carer. She briefly

spoke about her experience of fostering children with varying unique

needs and temperament.

Awareness – Sensitization : Continuing with our advocacy and

sensitization programmes on Child Protection and Prevention of

Abandonment of children in a public place, IAPA approached few

hospitals and organizations to make the staff/personnel/community

workers aware of the challenges and risks faced by the child who

is abandoned.

Two such programmes were conducted in December 2014

and March 2015 at the Apne Aap Women’s Collective and

K. J. Somaiyya Ayurvedic hospital respectively.

To preserve and strengthen families and protect children at risk,

IAPA started services that are commonly referred to as Foster

Family Care and Education Sponsorship. The ultimate goal of the

services is to see that the child is cared for in a family, preferably

own family; and has congenial conditions for his or her education

and healthy development.

FAMILY PRESERVATION / FOSTER CARE ASSISTANCE

Family Preservation / Foster Care: The services address the

needs of the child where the family is temporarily or long term

incapable to meet the child’s basic material needs and nurture.

Family assistance, a substitute family care arrangement with a

relative family and other supportive services are offered. The focus

is to protect the child from the trauma of separation from the

family and the familiar surroundings and avoid institutional placement,

while strengthening his or her care in the family.

A child needs nurturance in a secure and a stable family

environment for healthy social, emotional and physical growth and

development. When a family is struggling with debilitating

circumstances such as death of or desertion by a parent, long

term illnesses, loss of employment, the child suffers neglect. The

adult/s concerned seek recource to the child’s placement in an

institution. In a large number of these cases, it is the single

parents or a relative/s who have been looking after the child who

is orphaned or whose parent has deserted and the relative is

barely able to continue providing for the child. In a few cases

assistance is given, (see the Table below) when both the parents

are ailing from AIDs or are disabled. To avoid separation of the

child from his or her family and the community, this programme

offers family assistance and or arranges the child’s care with a

relative family. In rare cases, the child is placed in a non-related

family in the familiar surroundings.

SUPPORTIVE SERVICES TO DISADVANTAGED

CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES

12

Financial assistance is accompanied with multiple supports.

Counseling is an integral part of the services. Providing of

information, referral to proper community resources, sponsorship

for education, medical support and wherever needed, income

enhancement tools like skill training, micro-finance and the like are

offered.

Funding for implementing the programme is received under the

Scheme Bal Sangopan Yojana (BSY) of the Maharashtra State

Government, for 85 children. For additional 50 children, funding is

received from a private source, the H.T. Parekh Foundation.

Altogether, the number of children and families supported under

the programme is 135. The details are given below under each

support source.

Children Supported Under The Family Preservation / Foster

Care :

Under Bal Sangopan Yojana (BSY) :

IAPA has been one of the agencies implementing the Maharashtra

Government Foster Care Scheme, ‘Bal Sangopan Yojana’ since

its inception in 1995 *. The scheme functions according to the

designated process. The local Child Welfare Committee (statutory

body under the JJ Act) refers cases that are before them for

institutionalization of the child,. Since IAPA Social worker is present

during the CWC sittings, she speaks with the applicants. Depending

on the family’s situation, either the case is registered for long term

assistance under the BSY scheme; or spot counseling is given

where it is sufficient to guide the applicants to resolve the issues.

Rehabilitation of the family has been of paramount importance

under this scheme. Government has sanctioned funding for

85 cases. Other child and family benefits from the IAPA operated

support services are extended to the child and the family.

* A Grant of Rs. 2,28,300/- was received during the reporting

year for for 85 children.

Under H.T. Parekh Foundation :

IAPA has been able to extend the services to more

children due to the support of H.T. Parekh Foundation

which is a CSR programme of HDFC Ltd. During the

period under review 50 foster care cases were helped

through their support. These cases were considered from

the communities of Reay Road and Wadala where the

need of Foster Care Services was strongly indicated.

Most of the children staying in these communities are

orphaned or abandoned as they loose their parents to

CHILDREN SUPPORTED UNDER SPONSORSHIP

FOR EDUCATION & DEVELOPMENT

Children from poor socio-economic backgrounds lack support and

encouragement from their families for pursuing education beyond

primary level. Sponsorship programmes aim at preventing incidence

of school drop-out and providing facilitative conditions for the child

to continue to gain education and training for a better future.

Apart from financial support, a range of comprehensive services

rendered to the child, as per individual needs and circumstances

has been enabling students to achieve higher education and

professional qualifications. The services include extra coaching,

parental guidance, vocational guidance, life-skills development, value

education and cultural enrichment to enhance over all physical and

emotional health of the child. Attention to the family members

contribute to the issues such as skills development of the adult

members for increasing earning abilities and addresses problems

like addictions that debilitate healthy functioning of the family.

It is the collective efforts of the child, the family, the agency and

the sponsors that has helped in success of a number of children

pursuing against odds to achieve their aspirations.

Sponsorship is being provided to students studying in the Municipal

schools of B, C, D and E wards of Mumbai. At present seventeen

schools are covered under the programme.

children motivates several individuals to sponsor the education of

one or more children. The web of sponsors has grown over the

years. Besides the agency’s efforts many of the sponsors are also

encouraging their friends and associates to make a difference in

the lives of these children. At present 46 individual sponsors, some

of whom are supporting more than one child are sponsoring a total

of 94 students. Personal interest in the sponsored child has been

very motivating for the child. Some sponsors have extended extra

RURAL SPONSORSHIP :

IAPA-TdH (Denmark) Rural Project :

The major sponsor for the development of this project is TdH,

Denmark. There has been a steady, progressive development taking

place in this rural project. Based at Terewayangani, where the

students of Std. VIII to Std. X are helped, the Kamlakar Bhau

Javkar Vidyamandir is the only secondary school for these students

belonging to the cluster of five villages. A number of individual

donors have also helped in different ways to not only the students

but the community.

87 percent students passed the Board exams of Std. X. Priyanka

Mhatale and Ajay Khale scored 80 percent marks the highest in

the class. Four students got 70 percent marks while eleven students

got 60 percent and above.

This year too students benefitted from the funds donated by the

TdH State Football Pools in Denmark. From the amount ninety

two students were given hygiene kits, five students and one teacher

were given medical help, while two months groceries and biscuits

were distributed for the night meals given to the students of

Std. X when they stay back in the school for study during the last

three months of the Board examination.

Apart from this help the other initiatives for the students and the

school during the year were as follows :

Uniforms : New students who joined the school in Std. VIII

were provided with uniforms which were made possible due to the

donation from Mr. Mangesh Dhaimade, an individual sponsor.

Felicitation and Recognition : Student achievers in the Board

exam of Std. X were felicitated. The administrative staff and

teachers who conducted night classes for these students were

recognized with an extra gratia amount.

Support for Higher Education : This year 20 boys were able to

secure admission in college because of the funds donated by an

individual sponsor, Mr. Noordin Ebrahim. This has ensured

continuation of their education.

Support and empowerment of girls and women : Last year

onwards Chance of Life (COL) has reached out with special

opportunities for the girl students and women of the community. A

local social worker is appointed for the purpose. The programme

includes Life Skill Sessions for Std. VIII to X students. Of the

school graduates who have opted for college education, or a

vocational course, 13 were supported during the year. Women of

the community are helped with information and knowledge on

increasing agriculture yield, nutrition, healthy methods of cooking to

minimize incidence of anemia.

Additional Support For Higher Education :

Higher education is a costly affair with expenses of books, college

fees and last but not the least coaching fees which become a

necessity as these students complete their schooling in the

vernacular medium while they study in the English medium in the

college. Hence the chances of their dropping out is high either

because they are unable to cope or due to financial constraints. In

order to ensure that students do not discontinue higher education,

IAPA is networking with funding sources for additional support for

our students.

• Capri Beti Shiksha : Twenty two meritorious girl students

from under privileged families have been provided support

for their higher education under CSR of Capri Global

Capital Ltd from 1st July, 2014. The project extends

mentorship for guidance, counseling and helping them come

closer to achieve their dreams. Apart from assisting girl

students, an orphan boy referred by IAPA was considered

for help. He has joined college this year.

22

• American Women’s Club Bombay : has provided donation

to supplement funding of extracurricular activities of three

sponsored girls who show promise in their respective areas.

Thanks to the intervention of the Bombay Community

Public Trust (BCPT) with whom we have a long standing

fruitful association.

• All Cargo Logistics Limited : supported the education

of nine students.

• Ladies @ 3 : Sunita Motwani and Rema Menon, our

ex-colleagues and their friends have given funds to support

education of four students who are pursuing Engineering.

23

SUPPORTIVE SERVICES

Over the span of 44 years, IAPA has been evolving. While the

basic goal of reducing vulnerability of children and their families in

difficult situations continues the programmes and services to address

them have been expanding and changing in response to the felt

needs and evolving social scenario. This is reflected in the following

support services.

Child Guidance Centre ‘Aastha’ :

Our Child Guidance Centre (CGC) ‘Aastha’ catering to the

psychological well-being of children and their families continued to

forge ahead. With timely intervention for improving not only their

emotional distress but also academics and behavior standards,

children on the margins have gained better overall health to pursue

education. Testing, professional counseling, remedial therapy and

medication under the guidance of our four member panel on a bi-

weekly basis have helped address the different psychological and

academic issues of the children under our sponsorship, foster care

and other programmes.

A mental health awareness session was addressed by our remedial

therapist and psychologist wherein parents were explained the

importance of mental health in children and the need for timely

identification and intervention by experts, so that the psychological

problems do not leave a lasting effect on the quality of the child’s

future life.

Play therapy sessions were taken by our psychologist with a group

of children referred by school authorities for lack of attention,

misbehavior, emotional distress, etc. Although the reasons for

referral were different, the play therapy helped them to shed their

inhibitions and take in the positive matters imparted during the

sessions conducted with them in a non-threatening group atmosphere.

A session on ‘Addictions’ was conducted by our psychiatrist for

Std IV to VII students of the Khetwadi Municipal School. Although

24

many of them were aware of the ill effects of addictions and it

was the prevalence in their own families their attention was drawn

to the availability and the need to take up the de-addiction

treatments.

The bifurcation of the 26 new cases referred and their subsequent

follow-up through 134 sessions in the nine working months, is as

follows :

Academic Backwardness (Learning

Disabilities; IQ problem; lack of

motivation / attention / concentration)

Emotional issues (anxiety, depression)

Behaviour problems (aggression,

hyperactivity, stealing, bedwetting)

Other

Vocational Guidance and Training :

Vocational training and guidance is provided under the TdH and

COL support, specially for girls who have dropped out of school.This

include typing, computers, beautician, Mehendi and tailoring courses.

68 students were helped to undertake the course of their choice.

During the vacation, another 20 girls were helped to take up skills

training.

Other Activities - Exposure to World Beyond :

Various other activities like participation in Quiz programmes,

competitive events, picnics and educational visits are a regular

feature for exposing students to the world beyond their communities.

Such activities are possible with collaboration of well-wishers.

25

Micro Finance :

Seed money is given to start a small business to women seeking

self-reliance. Chance of Life and Hannah Programme for Women,

started by our ex-colleague Ms. Vivien Powar have funded this

initiative. Loan was given for marketing the home-made products

and for varied other activities to altogether 15 women.

Medical Assistance :

A medical assistance fund serves to meet the crucial medical and

nutrition needs of the sponsored children and their family. Diseases

like T.B. are better fought with extra nutrition and proper

medication. The fund is resourced by TdH, COL, H.T. Parekh

Foundation and Individual donors like Ms. Alpana Dange,

Ms.Margaret Mehta and Ms.Mangala Shenoy.

Janashree Bima Yojana/Aam Admi Policy :

Since 2004 IAPA has been implementing this government scheme

which provides life protection to the rural and urban poor. Eligible

families are helped to take its benefit by paying a nominal annual

premium of Rs. 100/-. 34 parents renewed their policy and two

students availed of scholarship under the scheme.

26

ONGOING EXTENTION PROJECTS

Certain extension projects, supplementing Core programmes of

IAPA are initiated in collaboration with specific agencies or donor

support. They are as follows :

Asmita :

Asmita programme is meant to not only occupy children who are

unsupervised before the school hours. Apart from regular studies,

yoga, dance and computers a variety of other sessions were also

conducted. The beneficiaries include children of West Khetwadi

Municipal School as well as children studying in the nearby schools.

Aiming at their overall development, sessions are conducted with

them for enhancing their competency in dealing with the rigors of

life. Anger management, goal setting, communication and listening

skills are some of the topics dealt with apart from value education.

To nurture their creativity, crafts and arts sessions are conducted

with help of the volunteers. Among others, Ms.Benu Vora taught

jewllery making while a picnic to a city Mall was made possible

with other volunteers.

In order to ensure that many more students avail the benefit of

this project IAPA collaborated with ‘Prerana’, an organization

working with the children of the red light area. From June onwards

these students also attend ‘Asmita’.

TdH Mid-Day Meal Fund :

IAPA provided snacks such as grams, peanuts and royal grain

(rajgira) on a daily basis to 50 children of Sanjeevani Balwadi to

encourage the young toddlers to attend school while ensuring that

they have nourishing food.

extended to students of Std.VI, VII VIII in 13 schools of Malwani,

Gorai and Charkop covers Marathi, Hindi and English mediums.

and audio-visuals covered topics like anger management in which

students were taught the need to manage anger and the different

ways of managing anger, benefits of being organized, the power of

now, self esteem and how the choices in our lives decide our

future. Aimed at inculcating positive values in the lives of the

students, it has evinced good response from teachers, principals
