ADOPTING IN INDIA

Canada and India are signatories to the Hague Convention.  Both countries have assumed responsibility of establishing centralized authorities to monitor the international adoption process giving the highest priority to the protection and well being of the children.

CARA has been established by the Indian Government to oversee and manage the international adoption process.  This government organization provides licensing to specific orphanages that are then authorized to place children internationally.  These children are boys and girls of varying ages. It is possible to arrange an adoption of a child between the ages of 3 months to 12 months. Since Indian mothers are normally not prone to substance abuse or sexually transmitted disease, these children are normally of good health.
