About this document

This "Affidavit of Adoption" is a legal document drafted for use in Indian courts and family law proceedings.

It serves as a sworn statement by the adoptive parent(s) declaring the adoption of a child, including details of the child's identity, the adoptive parents, and the legal transfer of parental rights and responsibilities.

Legal Context in India:

In India, adoptions are governed by the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956 (for Hindus), the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, or the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890.

This affidavit is typically required as supporting documentation for adoption petitions filed in civil courts or before the Child Welfare Committee.
