icon Adoption - retired pensioner

Can a retired pensioner adopt an 18 yr old child ?


A. Dear Client!

An adoption can be done only for the minor child only. An 18 year and above person cannot be adopted.

You can take care of the child aged 18 years. But cannot adopt.

Hope this resolves your query.

A. A spinster or a divorcee or a widow, irrespective of her marital status, can also adopt a child for herself. A girl child can also be adopted. But the only point for concern is that in the presence of boy or a girl, the adopter cannot adopt another male child or a female child.

Responsibility of adopted parents


A. Dear Client,
An adoption order severs the legal ties between a birth parent and the child, so that the adoptive parent(s) become the child's legal parent(s) throughout life. so the responsibility of the child's education, nourishment, maintaining lifestyle, sharing the property, upbringing etc will be on the Adoptive parents shoulders. after the adoption is done, adoptive parents' responsibility will be same for the adopted child as of a biological child.
