Angel House Adoption Centre at Mogappair

We take in babies in need of care, and either trace their biological parents or find them a new home.
Over the last year, our Angel House adoption centre took in 64 children from government hospitals, welfare centres, and police departments in districts across Tamil Nadu. We found homes for 39 of these children, either reuniting them with their biological parents or finding them foster parents. The remaining children should find homes soon as there is a long list of people waiting to adopt a child.   

We take excellent care of the children while they wait for a new family.
We make sure they get food, care, and medical aid (from leading local hospitals). Even when we find foster parents for them, there are rigorous legal procedures to ensure they go to safe homes.

What makes Angel House better?

Kalaiselvi Karunalaya’s Angel House is a different kind of Children’s Home, in that:

• The babies are given the best of love, care and attention, some of them being taken care of by a full time caretaker.
• The babies are provided the best of amenities, comfortable accommodation, clean and healthy nourishment, periodic medical attention.
• Dedicated and trained social workers and caregivers take care of children.
• Staff members are given necessary training in hygiene and basic paediatric care while handling children.
• International volunteers, and our doctors from Children’s Hospitals, give staff lectures and demonstrations, on how to feed the babies, bathe the children, and how to treat minor     childhood ailments, before going to a doctor.
• The older children are sent to formal schools nearby, and social workers and volunteers teach the children (using the play game method) at Angel House.
• Every effort is made to find the natural, biological parents of the child, as that is the place where the child would grow best, and sufficient counseling sessions are held to advise such parents about their responsibility; where required, referral services are offered for the parents to augment their income or find suitable employment so that they can support the child.
• Efforts are then made to find suitable foster parents for these children, from out of the waiting list of intending adoptive parents.
• All adoption procedures are carried out in accordance with the law, and the child is finally given in adoption only when all the procedures are completed.
• A regular periodic follow up is maintained on each baby to ensure that the child is growing fine in the new environment.
• That the Angel House has become an ideal Children’s Home is quite evident – till now, 250 children have been successfully given in adoption.  And there is a growing list of waiting     childless couples who want to adopt babies from Angel House.
