MISSIONARIES OF CHARITY Superior General of the Missionaries of Charity Sister Mary Prema decided not to continue the adoption services because of the new Indian government guidelines.  These guidelines go against the belief, children up for adoption should be adopted by married couples’ a father and mother if you will.  There is also the picking of a child from a group of six when the applications online is presented.  Sister Mary Prema believes that a child born is not known as should a child adopted.  The Missionaries of Charity is run by the guidelines set forth by its foundress Mother Teresa, which in their view will not be changed.  It is suggested by an India moderator on NDTV show THE BUCK STOPS HERE that the Missionaries of Charity views should change with the times.  The moderator worked hard at trying to cause a ruckus towards the sisters with her guest however, the guest being often of a different opinion of the sisters spoke with...
