I am a divorcee with a 15 yr old son. I have the sole custody and guardianship. I got remarried and my present husband wants to adopt my son. Should I go through this process without going through CARA
A.Dear Client,
Without the consent of the biological father of your son from the first marriage even if it is dissolved by a decree of divorce, your second husband cannot adopt your son. According to the Central Adoption Resource Authority(CARA), all kind of adoption requires registration with CARA. Consent of biological parents or permission of the Child Welfare Committee(CWC), as the case may be, shall be required for the adoption of the child. The consent of the child if he is five years of age or above shall be obtained. Then along with the consent of the biological father of your son or the permission of the CWC, your 2nd husband needs to apply to a Family Court or District Court to obtain an adoption order. Based on the said order, a Deed of adoption has to be registered in favor of your 2nd husband under the Registration Act. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.

A.Dear Client,
you have to go through the process of CARA and firstly register the child with the same. later follow all procedure as per sec 52 of the act and the person wanting to adopt must provide an application in family court/ district court or magistrate court thorough an advocate. if all the requirements needed for adopting are satisfied then the court will proceed with the adoption.
