How to get apply for visa for adopted child in india

Adults who were adopted as children need not produce a 'registered adoption deed' while applying for a passport, Bombay High Court ruled Wednesday. The court held that a 2001 circular issued by Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) mandating a registered adoption deed in case of adopted children seeking a passport, is applicable only in case of minors.High Court rulings and argued, "It is the act of adoption and not an adoption deed which confers the status of an adopted son. A perfectly valid adoption can be made without an adoption deed."

You don't even need to tell it is adopted child as long as the birth certificate of the child bears your name and so does the passport.

In my case, i didn't even provide the passport office with adoption deed and mention it to them as the birth certificate having the my and my wife's name as parents fulfills all the conditions.

Also i had applied immediately for a US visa for my child and again no issues and there was no need to mention anything about adoption.

As long as you have the birth certificate and passport that shows you are parent , you shouldn't willing mention about adoption anywhere is my opinion. It will land you in more trouble.
