As per the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, you can adopt a child through an adoption agency or an authorized institution, not directly from a hospital. You need to approach a recognized adoption agency to follow the legal process of adoption, ensuring the child’s welfare is considered. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
