Subject: Request for Custody and Legal Adoption of a Girl Child – Reg.
Respected Sir/Madam,
I, B. Sai Nikhila, wife of B. Venkata Sai Chaitanya, aged 26 years, residing in Ongole, Prakasam District, respectfully submit the following:
I was married in 2019. Due to medical complications, we are unable to have children. Hoping to adopt, we explored legal options through CARA but couldn’t proceed due to age eligibility.
While exploring legal options, a known RMP doctor from Guntur approached one of our relatives, informing that a young college student had delivered a baby and couldn’t raise her. The RMP said the mother wanted to give up the baby voluntarily. Without our full knowledge, our relative discussed the matter with my father-in-law, who then collected the 16-day-old baby from the RMP.
Since then, we have cared for her with love and complete responsibility, treating her as our own. We made repeated efforts to get legal documents from the RMP, but he kept delaying, claiming the mother was unavailable due to exams. Later, his clinic remained shut.
On 14-07-2025, women police from Vijayawada visited our home through the same relative and took the child along with my father-in-law. She was handed over to the Krishna District Women & Child Welfare Department.
We are utterly heartbroken by this sudden separation. This little baby girl, whom we have lovingly nurtured for over six months, has become the very heart of our lives. She brought immense joy, meaning, and warmth to our home. Her smile, her presence, and every small milestone became a part of our soul. Losing her feels like losing a piece of ourselves. Until her biological parents are identified if they ever are ,we humbly and desperately plead that her custody be granted to us. We are more than willing to comply with every legal process and requirement to adopt her and give her the life, love, and security she deserves.
We assure you of our financial and emotional readiness to provide a safe, loving, and stable environment. The child is emotionally bonded with us, and we believe it is not in her best interest to be placed in an institution.
We humbly seek your kind intervention to help us regain custody and legally adopt her through proper procedures.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Yours faithfully,
B. Sai Nikhila
W/o B. Venkata Sai Chaitanya
Sorry about the situation you are in. It must be emotionally troubling. You may consider making a detailed representation to the Krishna District Women & Child Welfare Department about the situation and request to be appointed legal guardian of the child. If a positive response is not forthcoming, you may consider filing a writ petition in the High Court. The Court may view your situation sympathetically and grant some relief.
