Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) is an autonomous body under the Ministry of Women & Child Development, Government of India It functions as the nodal body for adoption of Indian children

CARA primarily deals with adoption of orphan, abandoned and surrendered children through its associated /recognised adoption agencies.

Once the child is selected, then permissions have to be got from the ACA (Adoption Coordinating Agency—formally VCA). This should take about a month. After examining these papers CARA gives the go ahead and this could take another two-three weeks.

Then its time to get permission from the courts.. Once cleared, the prospective parent will get the guardian ship of the child. Time to take the child home at long last

The first thing to do is to register with a local Adoption Agency or with the State Adoption Cell. The agency will make a home study report and decide if you are capable of rearing a child – in terms of our financial and emotional capabilities. Once a child is selected, matching the description (if any) required by the parents, then the paperwork starts. Agencies ofcourse prefer to give a child matching the physical description of the parents. For example, dark parents who demand a fair child may not get one. There is a slightly longer procedure for inter-state adoptions. For more details read here.

If u r adopting a child of ur relative after observing rituals register a deed that is sufficient. If u go for adoption of an orphan then note Adv Ajay's suggestion
