Child Adoption Scandal

Child care homes run by Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity across the country must be inspected immediately, the government instructed all states. This comes after recent cases of babies were allegedly sold for adoptions at a Missionaries of Charity shelter home in Jharkhand.

The birth certificates of 126 children adopted in Ireland between 1946 and 1969 were doctored to show their new families as their biological parents, the government admitted on Wednesday.
