Hi, Can I & my husband with 4+ years of stable marriage with good income & assets adopt a child? We have a pet dog who we love and are not willing to abandon. Please share some insight on this.

A.Dear Client,

According to Indian adoption laws, you can certainly consider adopting a child if you meet the eligibility criteria. You must be:
1) A couple with a stable marriage for at least two years.
2) Financially stable and capable of providing for the child's needs.
3) In good health, both physically and mentally.
4) Above the age of 25 years.
5) The age difference between the child and the younger parent should not be less than 25 years.

Having a pet dog is not typically a hindrance to adoption as long as you can ensure the child's safety and health in the presence of the dog. To initiate the adoption process, you would need to contact a recognised adoption agency in India. They will guide you through the legal procedures, including documentation, background checks, home study, and adoption counselling.
