Dear Client,
Section 15 of the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956 bars cancellation of the adoption which has been validly made by the adoptive parents. Once an adoption is legally completed, it cannot be undone or cancelled. Legally, an adopted child cannot be “returned” once the adoption is finalized. Adoption is a permanent legal relationship. However, in exceptional cases where the welfare of the child is at risk, the courts may intervene.

Dear Sir,
You cannot legally adopt a person who is aged more than 14 years. However, you may treat such son as foster son and make your properties in joint names of yourself and foster son so that he may look after you properly. Please think twice before executing any documents.

What is the process for adopt an female adult as a sister
Dear Client,
The legal framework for adoption in India is primarily focused on the adoption of children who are minors (under 18 years of age). There is no provision for legally adopting an adult female as a sister in India. The legal framework for adoption in India, namely the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, and the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956, does not provide for sibling adoption. So, legally adopting an adult female as a sister is not possible.
