In July 2011, India's Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) announced new intercountry adoption guidelines. As CARA processes the backlog of dossiers under its previous guidelines, India is temporarily closed to new applications. CARA expects to lift the suspension by December 31, 2011. In FY2010, there were 241 adoptions from India to the U.S. Adoptive parents must work through an agency that appears on a list of service providers approved by the Indian government. Only these "enlisted" agencies process adoptions by foreigners. Preference is given to families of Indian origin. View the list of approved agencies at www.adoptionindia.nic.in. India is a member of the Hague Adoption Convention. Learn more at http://adoption.state.gov/country_information/country_specific_info.php?country-select=india |
