Will it be legal adoption if I do as mentioned below.

1) Get the adoption deed registered in sub register office

2) Get the court order (SDM office)on validating the adoption.

3) Approach to concerned authority for birth certificate.

If yes please let me know the process and documentations.

After registering the adoption deed with the concerned registrar, you may apply for birth certificate by providing the details of the adoptive parents and copy of the registered adoption deed, you can get the birth certificate.

As far as CARA is concerned, it is just an agency for this purpose, it is not necessary that you should approach that agency alone for adoption. You can follow the general rules meant for this purpose.

The first legal step in adoption is the termination of the parental rights of a child's birthparents. The final step is the finalization of adoption in court, making you your child's permanent, legal parents. Along the way, there are many points where adoption laws will have an effect on your child's adoption.

Once adopted through the legal process, the child is always yours. No one can take your child away from you.

You are doing a beautiful thing by adopting a child and by the end of it when the child is with you.

1. Once the adoption deed is registered then no order is required from SDM. You can then proceed to incorporate your name in all the documents of identity of the adopted child.

2. The birth certificate should be obtained from the Registrar of Births and Deaths by the biological parents before executing the adoption deed.
