In re H T (Baby) [2018] KEHC 5725 (KLR)

REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT NAIROBI

(FAMILY DIVISION)

ADOPTION CAUSE NO. 8 OF 2015

IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION FOR ADOPTION OF BABY H T alias A M

RULING

1. The pleadings herein seek adoption orders for a child known as H T.

2. I have perused through the papers lodged herein by the adoption agency arranging the adoption, Little Angels Network. I have noted that some of the documents relate to a child known as H T, while others refer to a child called H N.

3. All these names constitute the identity of the child in question, and the pleadings must refer to all three so as to be in sync with the documents put in evidence.

4. As it is, I am unable to draft the judgement to finalise the matter.

5. I shall give the applicant sixty (60) days to cause the pleadings to be amended accordingly, in default of which the Originating Summons dated 21st January 2016 shall stand dismissed, in which case the child shall be returned to the institution from which she was placed with the applicant..

DATED, SIGNED and DELIVERED at NAIROBI this 14TH DAY OF JUNE, 2018.

W. MUSYOKA

JUDGE
