...Documents obtained by TIME show that the Department of Community Development in W.A. was so concerned about the case that it sought a report on it in the mid-1990s. TIME has also been told that after the traumatic experience nobody in the state, including the government adoption unit, would deal with MSS. W.A. Child Protection director general Terry Murphy says he is unable to comment on the case until archived files are recovered, but notes: "We are aware that MSS are not currently licensed by the Central Authority in India to undertake inter-country adoptions."
