74 1 RIGHTS OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN Supreme Court of India had laid down clear guidelines in respect of the adoption of Indian children by foreign nationals. Unfortunately, in most of such cases, poverty and illiteracy were the main cause for the giving-up of the child. The Commission considered the issue in a meeting on 26 April 2001 and further directions were given to the State Government. The State Government subsequently sent a detailed report indicating how it would deal with the problem. In the light of that report, the Commission closed the proceedings before it. However, at the request of Smt. Shanti Reddy, a Member of the National Commission for Women, who is working with cases involving the sale of babies by Lambada tribals for adoption, a high-level meeting was convened by the Commission where the Joint Secretary, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment and Director, Central Adoption Resource Agency (CARA) were present. The officials present agreed to review cases where foreign parents were not found suitable in adopting such babies.
