Adoption deed

Consult a local advocate who is expertise in the subject, narrate him the facts and seek his advise on further legal course of action.  In my opinion, you may have to register the adoption or else the same may be termed as illegal/invalid.

Dear sir,

I have married with a widow. She has a child from her first husband. The child is 9 years old. His biological father and mother's name is mentioned on his birth certificate. I have changed child's earlier surname to my surname by doing the gazette and changed his surname in his school.

My wife's surname has already been changed in her new passport in Mumbai Suburb. (We have our Marriage Certificate, Death Certificate of 1st Husband, residence and identity proof with us).  Now I want to apply for my son's passport and the passport should contain my name and surname in father 's name column.

Please guide me as someone told me to do the adoption deed and get it notarized, some told to get it notarized and some told me to file a petition in the court in front of Magistrate.

So please guide me in above matter. Thanks.

matter is complecated for which it is not possible that i can advice you by way of this media so it will be batter for you contruct a local expertise lawyer .
