Difference between In Country and Inter Country Adoption

Dear Client, The Adoption Regulation, 2022 has come with considerable changes for the adoption of children in India, As per Adoption Regulations, 2022, All the Adoption Orders issued by the Courts are now replaced by Adoption Orders issued by the District Magistrate, as per the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Amendment Act, 2021. Prospective Adoptive Parents (PAPs) who wish to adopt a child legally, shall register himself or herself online at https://carings.wcd.gov.in. As per Regulation 3(a), the child's best interests shall be of paramount consideration while processing any adoption placement; (b) preference shall be given to placing the child in adoption with Indian citizens with due regard to the principle of placement of the child in their own socio-cultural environment, as far as possible; (c) all applications for adoptions shall be registered on the Designated Portal and confidentiality of the Authority shall maintain the same. A child eligible for adoption as per Regulation 4 is namely, (a) any orphan or abandoned or surrendered child, declared legally free for adoption by the Child Welfare Committee; (b) a child of a relative defined under clause (52) of section 2; (c) child or children of the spouse from an earlier marriage, surrendered by the biological parents for adoption by the step-parent. Various recognized agencies and authorities have been assigned roles to facilitate the adoption process as per Guidelines Governing The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children), Act 2015 as amended in 2021. Child adoption can be done by either single PAPs or married couples with 2 years of stable marriage. Section 57(4) of the JJ Act, 2015 and Regulation 5(2)(c) mentions that a single male is not eligible to adopt a girl child. The entire adoption process is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (amended in 2021) and Adoption Regulations 2022. The database of Prospective Adoption Parents (PAPs) is maintained and managed through the designated CARINGS portal. There is no manual intervention at any stage in the process of adoption. The adoption process is carried out by the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) in accordance with the Juvenile Justice Act 2015 (as amended 2021) and the Adoption Regulations 2022. The waiting period depends on the seniority of the Prospective Adoptive Parents (PAPs) and of legally free children on the basis of preference of Prospective Adoptive Parents as per age, gender, health status, state, etc. Regulation 49 of Adoption Regulations, 2022 states that the prospective adoptive parents shall bear the expenses for adoption and the Specialised Adoption Agencies shall adhere to the adoption fees and their utilization pattern as provided in the Schedule XV which shall be revised by the Authority from time to time. In continuation of the same, the Steering Committee of the Authority in its 36th meeting held on 02/01/2024 has decided that the adoption fees once submitted by the prospective adoptive parents to the Specialised Adoption Agencies, stand non-refundable.

Dear Sir, First point is you are a NRI. That is your legal status.The Adoption which you are looking for now is and will be governed by Inter Country Adoption which means the National Agencies having permission in India and USA will be involved in the process.Later on whether you move to India or Iceland is immaterial what material is the child will be identified with your parentage and Nationalities. Hope this serves the purpose. Shanti Ranjan Behera Advocate

Dear Client, If you have resigned after completing the required years of service, you may be entitled to gratuity as per applicable law, subject to the terms of your employment and continuous service record. Gratuity is generally a statutory benefit and is not ordinarily denied merely because an employee resigns. As regards the notice period and buyout, the rights and obligations of both the employee and employer are governed by the employment contract and company policies. If there is any dispute regarding the notice period, buyout amount, or early relieving, you may seek a written clarification from the employer regarding the basis of their demand and attempt to resolve the matter amicably through discussion and negotiation. Before accepting any buyout proposal, it is advisable to obtain details of your full and final settlement, including gratuity, leave encashment, and any other dues payable. If the employer's position appears inconsistent with the terms of your contract or applicable law, you may seek independent legal advice after reviewing the relevant employment documents. For further legal assistance contact an Advocate.
