We did not have to engage an attorney ourselves, the orphanage had their own lawyer for all the court procedures.

You only have the option to go with another agency if you live in a country where there's no CARA-authorized AFAA. (and that has to be approved by the local Indian embassy)<br /><br />Have you considered completing the adoption domestically in India? Is that an option for you?<br /><br />Best Wishes,<br />RM.RMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381249123501513603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734307017577228417.post-61913584740271528362012-02-05T21:33:55.782+08:002012-02-05T21:33:55.782+08:00Dear RM,

Does CARA recognizes other accredited agencies by MCYS?<br />Since we are adopting a relative's child TOUCH says its okay to do HSR with other agencies. However, we are not convinced. Any advice?

I'm not really sure if you could skip other steps such as legalization and registration. Here's the relevant (old) CARA page: http://www.cara.nic.in/guide_family.htm<br /><br />CARA recently published new guidelines for 2011 - this supersedes the earlier 2004 version.<br />This is available at http://adoptionindia.nic.in/guideline-family/new_guideline.html.<br /><br />Best Wishes,<br />RM.RMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381249123501513603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734307017577228417.post-2540140262466409132011-11-21T15:56:01.781+08:002011-11-21T15:56:01.781+08:00Dear RM,

Later on I want her to know that when one makes up one's mind, help in large, generous measures comes from the most unexpected sources. <br />With our deepest affectionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734307017577228417.post-11646869082751436122011-10-04T14:29:26.047+08:002011-10-04T14:29:26.047+08:00Hi Anonymous,
Congratulations on your decision to...Hi Anonymous,<br /><br />Congratulations on your decision to adopt!<br /><br />Once the orphanage makes a referral to you, they will generally allow you to take the child for evaluation to a paediatrician of your choice in the same city. <br /><br />The orphanage had performed the following tests in the report they gave us:<br /><br />- V.D.R.L (test for syphilis)<br />- Tuberculosis<br />- Chest X-ray<br />- Urine & Stool Analysis<br />- Blood<br />- HIV<br />- Australia Antigen (Hepatitis B)<br />- BERA (hearing test)<br /><br />They had also performed all the usual vaccinations - BCG, DPT, poliomyelitis, Hep B and measles. <br /><br />A good agency will allow you to have the child's health independently evaluated before you accept the referral. Our agency put it this way: "We only want you to accept the referral after you have got answers on all counts of concern to you and feel informed enough to make a decision". <br /><br />Of course, as adoptive parents, we must also be reasonable and not subject the poor child to a battery of tests. <br /><br />Wish you all the best and feel free to ping me if you need any further information. <br /><br />Regards,<br />RM.RMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381249123501513603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734307017577228417.post-68026158455147234742011-10-04T13:58:14.792+08:002011-10-04T13:58:14.792+08:00Hi,

Do they allow us to do the medical exam or do we just have to accept a medical certificate they give us. Also, could you please please let me know what all are the tests done on the baby before adopting.<br /><br />Thanks a ton for your help in advance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
