Italian Couple Adopt Minor Orphan Girl

Nashik: Two-year-old 'Pari' has not seen the world much but has already experienced quirks of destiny
that range from being born with a congenital heart defect and then getting abandoned, to finding new parents in an Italian couple who have adopted her in Nashik today.

Mario Montalbeno and Paleria Beno have taken under their wings the child who has a hole in her heart and also an undeveloped kidney. They are set to fly across the continent where Pari will now find a new home.

Pari, who was abandoned by her biological parents, has been raised by the city-based Aadharashram.

The orphanage chairman Shrikant Purnapatre told reporters that the couple who are engaged in transport business in Italy came to know about Pari through a website on child adoption and also through the Mumbai-based Bal Asha Trust.

In the past, two children, Aditya (5) and Samarth (2) were adopted by two couples hailing from Spain, he said.
