Process of adoption in India -
Registration - Prospective adoptive parents need to get registered with an authorized agency. Recognised Indian Placement Agencies (RIPA) and Special Adoption Agency (SPA) are the agencies which are allowed to make such registrations in India.
Home Study and Counseling - A social worker for the registration agency will make a visit to the home of the prospective adoptive parent in order to do a home study. 
Referral of the Child - The agency shall intimate the interested couple when-ever there is a child ready for adoption.
Acceptance of the Child - Once the parents are comfortable with a child, they will have to sign a few documents pertaining to acceptance of the child.
 Filing of Petition - Once the petition is signed in the court, the adoptive parents can take the child to a pre-adoption foster care centre and understand the habits of the child from the nursing staff before taking the child home.
Court Hearing - The parents have to attend a court hearing along with the child.
Court Order - Once the receipt of investment made is shown, the judge shall pass the adoption orders.
Follow Ups - Post completion of the adoption, the agency needs to submit follow up reports to the court on the child’s well-being. This may continue for 1-2 years.

The adoptive parent and child should have an age difference of 21 years or more. Most agencies prefer couples to have been married for at least 5 years before adopting a child; however, this is again at the discretion of the agency. A single person between age 30 and 45 years can adopt a child.
