Formal processOrganisationPrep worksheet

Who it goes to: Authorised adoption agency or CARA-designated route; legal adviser where necessary

Where it applies: India — adoption preparation for the relevant CARA / authorised-agency route

01 · What is this?

A checklist for an official adoption consultation, including document status and questions.

02 · When is it useful?

Use it before registration or when the authorised agency asks you to prepare records.

03 · Start here

Identify your applicant and adoption category, then compare the official checklist with the records you actually have.

Gather your pieces

  1. Confirm the applicable applicant and adoption category with official guidance.
  2. Use the current official document schedule; do not assume every category has the same requirements.
  3. List document categories and status here rather than full identity numbers or a child’s private records.

Replace each [bracketed label] with your own verified details. Open the editor to make it yours, then read it through before sending.

Please confirm the proper route, current eligibility checks, required records and assessment steps. I have listed facts for review rather than declaring that all conditions are met. I will provide required documents through the authorised process. I understand that this worksheet does not identify a child for private transfer, create a placement or substitute for an adoption order.

Your next moves

  1. Ask the authorised agency to confirm eligibility and missing documents.
  2. Provide required records through the official secure process and complete the applicable assessment.

Real-world check

Original preparation worksheet, not an adoption application, suitability finding or child-placement agreement. Authorised assessment and legal approval remain necessary. Keep children’s identities and records private.
