Step child adoption

there is a format for adoption process

the adoption deed after executing it has to be registered with your local sub registrar office and also your ex husband signature should be on the deed 

all the particulars has to be mentioned in the deed and finally the registrar will ask about any objection ti the parties and he will sign the deed 

enquire with the sub registrar office or any other registration for procedure they will guide you 

Hi, Do I still need my ex husband's permission, even if my divorce decree clearly states that he gives up his custody completely?

yes being a natural father he has a right on his kids 

if he is not near by ask the registrar what next step to take adoption deed

its nothing but legally he is releasing his whole rights to adopted parents 

here one point is that you being a natural mother is the question if registrar says you can sign the documents then you can do but in other hand you are again accepting as a wife of kid adopted father 

So is there a form, or I need a stamp paper on which I need to mention that I and My ex-husband are giving rights to my current husband to act as his father. The registrar here seems to have no idea as this is an entirely new situation for him. He said that my permission on a hundred rupee stamp paper should do.

yes and also take help of a document writer who makes such deed near the registrar office who will do the process and also tell whole situation about divorce 

law requires the natural father's and mother's consent to give the child in adoption, even though in divorce papers expressly mention  that natural father does not have any concern in respect of the child and and full rights are handed over to divorced wife.  So get a adoption deed on stamp paper and get his signature and you also put your signature in the presence of two witnesses and get the document registered in registrar's office.  The registrar's suggestion is not in accordance with law, but if it serves your purpose and also if you will not anticipate any problem with your ex- husband  you can follow that procedure but that is not a full proof method.

Advocates Mr. Mahesh and Mr. Chandrasekar have convincingly gave the detailed procedure to be followed for adoption of a child. Ms. Meera should note one thing that the husband divorced the wife alone but did not renounce the child.  He is the real and biological father of the child and the law requires the biological father's permission also to give the child in adoption to a third party.  Even though the registered adoption deed signed by both husband and wife who give their child in adoption and the signature of the person taking adoption of the child  duly signed by witnesses is valid, still if it is declared/probated by a court of law,   it attains full legal validity.

Thank you so much to Mr Mahesh, Mr Chandrasekhar and Mr Kalaiselvan. I will follow the procedure mentioned by you'll. Again a heart thanks to everyone.
