PASIGHAT, Nov 25: The month long “International Adoption Month” observed by the District ICDS cells in various places in East Siang district is advocating and generating awareness programme for adoption of “Divyang and older children," which is the theme of this year.  Divyangs are children with special needs and older children are those above 5 to 18 years of age.
In her message to society, Deputy Director, Machi Gao said that adoption is a blessing, and appealed the people to adopt children legally through Specialized Adoption Agency (SAA), saying that illegal adoption is a crime and punishable. Through CARA, (Central Adoption Research Authority), this year’s theme has been aptly chosen to create mass awareness among the public for the need to adopt Divyangs and older children to give them a ray of hope for a new life, and to let them experience the feeling of belonging and being part of a family, she said. 
Gao urged every citizen to create awareness among the general public, about this year’s theme and to encourage guardians, particularly those who are financially well-off, to come forward and adopt such children to give them the right to be a part of a loving family.  DIPRO
