Dear Client,
The Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956 governs the adoption in India for Hindus. As per this Act, the maximum age permissible for a person to be taken in adoption is 18 years. If the age of the adoptee, is older than 18 years, he cannot be adopted. However, a person more that 18 years old can also be adopted provided that a custom or usage is governing you both which provides for such an adoption.
