Dear Sir,

Parents adopting a child under the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act (HAMA) could soon be required to mandatorily register the adoption with country's apex adoption body as part of efforts to check trafficking, a senior government official said.

Prospective parents can adopt a child under the stringent Juvenile Justice (JJ) Act, 2015. Additionally, Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs have the option of formalising an adoption through the 60-year-old HAMA.

Officials say that while the JJ Act has provisions for verifying the source of the child as well as a thorough background check of the prospective parents, these pre- requisites are missing from HAMA, thereby, allowing many to take advantage of its loopholes.

"The ministry of women and child development has prepared a draft Cabinet note proposing an amendment to HAMA in order to make it compulsory for parents to register with the apex adoption body, Child Adoption Resource Authority (CARA)," a ministry spokesperson said.

The note is being circulated among the ministries of finance, home affairs and law and the Prime Minister's Office, before it is taken up by the Union Cabinet, the official said.

"Adoption under HAMA is very simple and two Hindus can exchange a child after filing a deed. We did a sample check and discovered that the number of adoptions under HAMA is too high and we suspect that a lot of these involve trafficked children," the spokesperson said.

you will have to file suit before district court for declaration that the Adoption Deed executed by the petitioners and the natural parents of the child as valid and legal.

- As per the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, if the party is willing to adopt a child they have to make an application to a child welfare agency.

- The registration of adoptive parents and child can be done by the agency certified by the Central Adoption Resource Authority in New Delhi.

- After the adoptive couple decides which child they want to adopt they have to file the petition under the act and the court starts the hearings and finally decree would be passed for adoption. 

- Further, if the adoption is from the parents , then CARA registration is not mandatory. 

- After getting the decree from the court, you can apply /change the name in birth certificate & other documents . 

1. Yes you should register the adoption with CARA.

2. Declaration is not mandatory after registration with CARA

3. Apply for name addition in birth certificate in office of sub registrar birth and death if they refuse to make change in birth certificate then you need to file suit before court for mandatory injunction against birth registrar. 

It is not necessary to register the adoption deed once again before cara.

You may file a suit for declaring the registered adoption deed as valid.

After court decree, you can give an application to the concerned births and deaths registrar seeking to delete the names of the biological parents and to record the names of the adoptive parents by annexing the copies of the registered adoption deed and the court judgment.

The court shall be within the jurisdiction where the adoption deed was registered.
