In re BO alias BP (Child) (Adoption Cause E001 of 2025) [2026] KEHC 2284 (KLR) (27 February 2026) (Ruling) Neutral citation: [2026] KEHC 2284 (KLR) REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT AT BUSIA ADOPTION CAUSE E001 OF 2025 WM MUSYOKA, J FEBRUARY 27, 2026 IN THE MATTER OF ADOPTION OF MINOR BO ALIAS BP ALIAS EP (THE CHILD) RULING 1. I am unable to write the judgment herein. 2. None of the reports, on record, give a background of the child sought to be adopted, yet this entire cause is about him. There are no particulars relating to when he was born, his parentage, and the circumstances leading up to his being freed for adoption. 3. There is also the issue of adoption of children by a prospective parent of a different gender. That has not been addressed, to demonstrate how the applicant would fit into any exceptions to that. 4. Let the applicant address those concerns, before the matter can be cleared for judgement. The matter shall be mentioned on 21st April 2026. DELIVERED, VIA EMAIL, DATED AND SIGNED IN CHAMBERS, AT BUSIA, ON THIS 27TH DAY OF FEBRUARY 2026. W. MUSYOKA JUDGE Mr. Arthur Etyang, Court Assistant. Advocates Mr. Bogonko, instructed by Bogonko Otanga & Company, Advocates for the applicant. https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2026/2284/eng@2026-02-27 1
