REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT NAIROBI (FAMILY DIVISION) ADOPTION CAUSE NO. 111 OF 2016 IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION FOR ADOPTION OF BABY WF RULING 1. The applicants, JMW and AWM, are Kenyan citizens. They are a married couple. They seek to adopt Baby WF. Their Originating Summons is dated 2nd September 2016. 2. I have reviewed the documents placed on record to support the application for adoption. Whereas the pleadings seek adoption of a child called WF the other documents refer to a child of a different name. Some refer to WM, WM1, WF and DF. Of significance to me are the documents from the police, the Children’s Officer and the Children’s Court, all of which relate to W or WM. 3. I am unable to grant the orders sought in the matter. The applicants shall make appropriate applications within thirty (30) days of date hereof, failing which the Originating Summons dated 2 nd September 2016 shall stand dismissed. DATED, SIGNED and DELIVERED at NAIROBI this 30TH DAY OF JUNE, 2017. W. MUSYOKA JUDGE
