HAMA vs CARA HAMA vs CARA

5 years ago

I am 50 and my wife is 40. We just got married 18 months back and neither of us have any issues from the past. We are very keen to adopt a child as soon as possible, but CARA guidelines prohibits us to even apply before we complete 2 years of marriage. Also CARA says since our joint age crosses 90, we cant adopt a child of less than 4 years. Plus CARA is very strict with prospective adoptive parents choosing a child. Can I opt for adoption under HAMA? Will it give us any additional benefits vis-a-vis CARA? Is there any legal clash or contradiction between HAMA and CARA which might cause problems for us? (Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh)
