Looking for a trusted child adoption lawyer in Delhi? Shri Laxmi Chand Law Firm provides professional legal assistance in navigating the adoption process with care, confidentiality, and compliance with Indian laws.

Understanding the Legal Framework for Child Adoption in India

Child adoption in India is governed by a set of comprehensive laws that ensure the welfare and protection of children. Key legislations include:

• Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015
  This Act serves as the primary legal framework for child adoption in India. It outlines the legal adoption process, especially for children in need of care and protection. It also established the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA), which regulates and monitors all adoption-related procedures.
• Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956
  Applicable to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists, this Act governs the legal adoption of children within these communities. It specifies the conditions for valid adoption and ensures the welfare and rights of the adopted child.
• Guardians and Wards Act, 1890
  While not directly focused on adoption, this Act is relevant in cases where adoption is not feasible. It empowers courts to appoint legal guardians for minor children, often used in international adoptions or special cases.
