Three-and-a-half months after a 10-year-old rape victim gave birth to a girl at a city hospital, a “well-to-do” couple from Maharashtra has adopted the infant. Caring parentsSources said the baby has been adopted by a well-to-do family, who were “very caring”. “The staff is usually aware that the baby in their care will leave the care home some day,” she said. “So more than the fear of parting, they are rather happy to see the child get a loving home.”The SAA will also be monitoring and reporting every six months about the adopted child for two years. India has a 20-week ceiling on abortion, unless there is a grave danger to the mother or the unborn baby.
