flag India strengthens adoption rules with strict procedures, record security, and child identity protection nationwide.

flag The Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) has issued nationwide directives to strengthen India’s adoption system, requiring strict adherence to legal procedures, secure recordkeeping, and protection of children’s identities. flag All states and union territories must ensure due inquiry, parent tracing, and statutory timelines before declaring a child free for adoption, with a mandatory two-month reconsideration period for surrendered children. flag Records must be securely preserved and transferred even if institutions close, and identifying information—including photos and personal details—cannot be disclosed, especially online. flag Violations are subject to penalties, and staff must be trained on confidentiality laws to ensure accountability and child protection.
