Review rules for fostering and adoption

I REFER to the letter “Enforce strict adoption procedures” (The Star, July 19). I agree with OrphanCare Foundation’s view that there is no substitute for rigorous screening, based on standard operating procedures (SOP), of potential families and married couples for fostering or adopting children.

The death of the toddler could have been prevented if a proper SOP had been drafted, adopted and religiously enforced.
