Once adoption is complete and the same is approved by the court of law then unless in the court order there is direction for prior approval from court for foreign travel , you need to take anyone's permission.
Adoption under HAMA in India and traveling abroad
We have adopted a baby girl under HAMA 6 months back in India. We are Indian and have a permanent residence here. My husband is abroad and now I want to travel there with our adopted child? We have received passport and I am confused if we need CARA NOC for traveling. I have written to CARA and HAMA both but to no avail.

There's no necessity to obtain permission from CARA if you have got the child legally adopted under the provisions of Hindu law.
You will not get any reply from CARA and it is not necessary as well.
You can travel with the passport and registration copy of the adoption deed.
Is your adoption deed registered
for issue of passport for minor adoptive child registered deed of adoption is necessary
3)
No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) is required for adoptive parents to take a child abroad:
4) Eligibility: The NOC is required for adoptive parents to be eligible for visas.
The adoptive parents need to give an undertaking for completion of balance of post adoption follow ups through Authorized Foreign Adoption Agency or the Central Authority or the Government department or the Indian Mission. The Adoptive parents have to pay profession fees stipulated by receiving country and obtain support letter in Schedule XVII from CARA.
Travel free
Dear Client,
As you are an Indian citizen who has adopted a baby girl under Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act will need a NOC from CARA to travel with the child outside the country. This particular NOC shows that the adoption was done and it permits one to travel to other countries. But for now that you have the child’s passport, ensure that you carry along other important papers such as; adoption order, marriage certificate among others which will be required at immigration. If you have never got a response from CARA or HAMA then it is wiser to write an email, message or follow up a call or one should consult a lawyer who specializes in adoption cases. Some of legal provisions for definition of NOC contain in Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956 and guidelines as prescribed by Central Adoption Resource Authority popularly known as CARA lay down the formalities that are required for NOC.

Dear Client,
Yes, you should take an adoption deed in English before going abroad with your adopted child to make understanding of various legal or administrative issues. Also discuss a possibility to get a court declaration that will attest the adoption for immigration reasons, as Immigration authorities may require it. You may also require a No Objection Certificate with regard to CARA, which may require a court declaration in case adoption deed under HAMA is not exercisable automatically. If possible it is wise to seek the help of an attorney, when translating documents, or when filing and other legal procedures needed when traveling internationally with an adopted child.

If you have custody now and no conditions barring you and child foreign travel then you don’t need noc now
