Understanding Child Adoption Laws in India
Child adoption in India is governed by applicable laws and procedures, including the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, and the Adoption Regulations, 2022, where applicable. Certain adoptions may instead be governed by other relevant laws, depending on the circumstances.
The Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) plays an important role in regulating adoption under the applicable framework. Prospective adoptive parents should follow the prescribed procedures and use authorized channels rather than arranging an informal or unauthorized adoption.
