How to legally adopt a child?

We have one daughter and would like to adopt another child. We live in the USA but are still Indian citizens. Is there a faster process for child adoption under the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act? How do you provide assistance with this?

You are Indian citizens living in the USA and want to adopt a child. The best option is to adopt through CARA (Central Adoption Resource Authority), which handles legal inter-country adoptions. This process ensures your adopted child can legally travel to the USA. It's safer than adopting under the Hindu Act alone. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistace contact us on our helpline number.
