Adoption is a legal procedure in India. The process involves seizing away the legal rights and obligations of a child to their biological parents followed by announcing a parent-child bond between people who aren\u2019t connected by blood. This when done by parents belonging to other nations is known as \u201cinter-country\u201d adoption. For many prospective adoptive parent[s], opting for international adoption<\/a> is better than adopting domestically.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A diverse country, India, has very stringent rules and regulations for adoptions, violations of which may attract harsh actions against the guilty. These rules have been shaped over the years by social reform campaigners and child welfare groups. But there is a slight glitch with the country laws as it doesn\u2019t have any clear rules for inter-country adoption. Addressing the issue, the Delhi High Court has directed the Women and Child Development (WCD) ministry to come up with a procedure and submit a report to the court.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since adoption is such a significant practice, the country has enacted a number of limitations and specifications. Additionally, there happen to be many concerns arising in international adoption such as who is eligible to adopt or adopted, consequences of adoption on succession rights, among others. <\/span>Generally, prospective adoptive parents must fulfil the statutory adoption criteria of both their home and the child\u2019s country of origin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
