THE HINDU ADOPTIONS AND MAINTENANCE ACT, 1956. [Act No.78 of 1956][21st December, 1956].

Men who are unmarried can adopt as well as long as they are not a minor. However, if a man were to adopt a daughter, the man must be twenty one years of age or older. Only unmarried Hindu women can legally adopt a child. A married woman can only give her consent to adoption by her husband.

Dear Sir,
There is no provision under law to cancel adoption deed. However it was taken by misrepresentation and child is with biological parents then you may go to civil court.

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.

Dear Sir,

Christians also can adopt a child from an orphanage with the permission of the concerned court under the Guardian and Ward Act, 1980. Thus you can prove your adoption and get a share as per your personal law.

Dear Client
Earlier adoption without involving CARA was easily done and was quite possible but recently the Union Government has made it mandatory to register and adopt through CARA. One can still do it without going to CARA but it is advisable to do it through them

Dear Sir,

As per HIndu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956, Sec 15, No adoption which has been validly made can be cancelled by the adoptive father or mother or any other person, nor can be adopted child renounce his or her status as such and return to the family of his or her birth. So, valid adoption cannot be cancelled.

Dear Client,

There are certain legal conditions stipulating for a valid adoption and once those conditions are compiled with, then only proper and valid adoption could be made.

Hope this clarifies your query and requirement.

Thank you.

Dear Client
If you want to adopt a stepchild, you must have the consent (or agreement) of both your spouse and the child's other parent (the noncustodial parent) unless that parent has abandoned the child. By giving his or her consent, the non-custodial parent gives up all rights and responsibilities, including child support.
Thanks
Regards
