Before sending the procedure I need instructions from your regarding to whom you are adopting. You can contact me.
Dear Client
The following procedure shall be involved in adoption of a child -
- The party willing for adoption has to make application to Child Welfare Agency. Registration can be done either by an Adoption Coordinating Agency (ACA) found in each state’s capital city, or an agency certified by the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) in New Delhi.
- After this, the agency conducts a preliminary interview with the adopting couple in order to understand their intention and motivation behind adoption.
- Once the party decides which child are they going to adopt they file the petition at the court of appropriate jurisdiction, where court hearing takes place regarding adoption (the court is required to dispose the adoption case within 2 months).
- Once the Court issues the decree, the adoption is finalized.
For any further clarification or discussion, reach out to me at quicklegollp@gmail.com or call me at 7787000846.
