I'm ex-serviceman from Indian Navy. Married from last 4 years. Im 35 years old and my wife is 32 year old age she is police constable. We don't have a baby. One of my cousin sister is having three girls. So we want to adopt their newly born girl child legally who is just one month old. So what's the legal procedure to do so. Husband of my cousin sister is in abroad . Is it possible that without his signature, we can legally do the procedure..he is also willing to give baby but he can't come to India for just signing the papers..

Consent and permission of natural parents is a precondition for adoption.
There is a procedure to legally adopt the baby, consult a local lawyer for guidance and proceeding.
