Sir/Madam, I would appreciate guidance regarding the child adoption process in India. I have already registered as a prospective adoptive parent on the CARA portal, but I find the process complicated and unclear. Could you please provide information and guidance on the procedure and the steps involved in adopting a child legally in India?
If you wish to adopt a newborn or an orphan child aged around 2–3 years, you must register through CARA, as there is no other authorised institution that can legally provide a child for adoption. The process involves home verification and eligibility assessment, and the waiting period may take approximately 2–4 years, depending on the availability of children. If you are adopting a relative's child, the adoption is completed through the court process, for which the consent/NOC of the biological parents or relevant relatives may be required. It is advisable to seek legal guidance based on your specific circumstances. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
