The Child Care Protection Agency of the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security is currently pursuing the legal route of acquiring custody of over 600 children who do not have parents/guardians, and who were placed in the various institutions across the country.
Kaieteur News understands that the Ministry has acquired the services of a lawyer, who is in the process of having the courts grant the agency custody to take the children in its care and to place some of them in foster homes.
The Ministry will also have the right to put up some for adoption.
Recently, six children have been put up for adoption by the agency. These children were abandoned at the Red Cross Convalescent Home.
