A brief introduction on child Adoption in India

Legal Framework: India's child adoption laws are primarily governed by the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, and the Guidelines Governing Adoption of Children, 2015, issued by the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA).

Eligibility Criteria: Prospective adoptive parents (PAPs) must meet certain criteria regarding age, marital status, financial stability, and health to be eligible to adopt a child. Non-resident Indians (NRIs) and foreigners are also eligible to adopt under specific conditions.

Adoption Agencies: Adoption in India is facilitated through registered adoption agencies, both governmental and non-governmental, recognized by CARA. These agencies handle the legal procedures, home studies, and matching of children with prospective adoptive parents.

Legal Adoption Process: The adoption process involves various steps, including registration with a recognized adoption agency, home study and assessment, matching with a child, pre-adoption foster care, and finalization of adoption through court orders.

Post-Adoption Support: CARA mandates post-adoption follow-up and support to ensure the well-being of the adopted child and the family. PAPs are required to submit progress reports periodically to the adoption agency for a specified period after adoption.
