Adoption Service

Empowering Indian Child Adoption From India to Dubai

At VasGlobal, we support Indian families in Dubai and the wider UAE who wish to adopt a child from India through the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA), the Government of India’s statutory body for in‑country and inter‑country adoptions. Our role is to simplify the process, guide you at every step, and ensure that all procedures strictly follow CARA regulations and the Juvenile Justice Act framework.

Who We Are

Who We Are and What We Do

VasGlobal is an Dubai‑based service provider helping NRIs, OCI cardholders, and other eligible families in Dubai navigate the regulated adoption system of India. While CARA is the central authority for adoption, we act as your trusted facilitator for documentation, process awareness, and coordination with recognized agencies and authorities in India.

We do not replace CARA or any government function. Instead, we help you understand the requirements, prepare accurate documentation, and remain compliant with all legal and procedural norms set by CARA and the Hague Adoption Convention.

Understanding CARA and the Legal Framework

CARA (Central Adoption Resource Authority) is a statutory body under the Ministry of Women & Child Development, Government of India. It regulates and monitors both in‑country and inter‑country adoption of Indian children, including adoptions by NRIs and OCIs living in Dubai and other countries.
The key legal and policy framework includes:

| . Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, and its amendments.

|| . Adoption Regulations (latest version), which govern procedures for in‑country and inter‑country adoption.

||| . Hague Convention on Inter‑country Adoption, under which CARA is the designated Central Authority for India.

At VasGlobal, we help you interpret these rules in simple language so you know exactly what is expected at each stage when adopting from India while residing in Dubai.

How Adoption Works Through CARA for Families in Dubai

01

Eligibility and Initial Guidance We first help you understand basic eligibility such as age, marital status, health, and financial stability, which are key factors under CARA guidelines for NRIs and OCIs. You receive a clear checklist of documents required both from India and Dubai (or the UAE) side.

02

Registration on CARA’s System All prospective adoptive parents must register on the CARA‑designated online portal (CARINGS or its updated equivalent) using the prescribed forms. We assist you in correctly filling in details and uploading documents to minimize delays and queries.

03

Home Study and Suitability Assessment For families living in Dubai, the Home Study Report is typically prepared by an Authorized Foreign Adoption Agency (AFAA), social agency, or authority recognized under CARA procedures. VasGlobal helps coordinate with such agencies and ensures your home study and supporting reports meet CARA’s expectations.

04

Matching and Referral of a Child Once you are found eligible and registered, CARA’s system coordinates with recognized adoption agencies in India to refer a legally free child for adoption. You receive information about the child through the official process and are encouraged to make an informed decision with proper counselling support.

05

Legal Process and Travel Coordination After acceptance, the matter moves through Indian courts under the JJ Act, and CARA issues necessary authorizations such as the No Objection Certificate (NOC) for inter‑country adoption. We guide you on:
– Court documentation and timelines in India.
– Passport and visa procedures for the child.
– Coordination with Indian and UAE authorities until the child can legally travel and join you in Dubai.

06

Post‑Adoption Support and Reporting Under CARA rules and Hague obligations, follow‑up reports for a period after adoption are mandatory in inter‑country cases. VasGlobal works with the concerned social agency in Dubai/UAE to help you comply with post‑adoption reporting and to access support if you need help adjusting as a new family.

Our Role vs. CARA’s Role

To keep your blog legally and ethically sound, it is important to clearly differentiate:

Aspect	CARA (Government of India)	VasGlobal (Service Provider)
Legal status	Statutory body under Ministry of Women & Child Development, Government of India	Private/independent service provider assisting prospective parents
Core function	Regulates and monitors in‑country and inter‑country adoptions of Indian children	Offers guidance, documentation support, coordination, and process education
Authority in adoption	Issues regulations, approvals, NOCs, and oversees recognition of agencies	Has no power to approve or reject adoptions; only supports families through the process
Interaction with families	Through official portal, recognized agencies, and legal authorities	Direct communication, personalized counselling, and liaison with agencies and professionals

This transparent explanation reassures families in Dubai that they are always working within an official, government‑regulated system, with VasGlobal as their support partner.

Phase 1: The Foundation (Personal Documents)

These documents are required for both spouses (or a single woman) to establish your legal status in the UAE.

Passport Copies: Valid for at least 6 months, including the UAE Residence Visa page.
Emirates ID: Original and clear electronic copies (front and back).
Family Book (for UAE Nationals) or Unified Number (for Expats): Found on your visa or via the ICA app.
Birth Certificates: For the prospective parents and any existing children in the household.
Marriage Certificate: Must be attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in the country of origin and the UAE.
Recent Photographs: Passport-sized with a white background.

Phase 2: Eligibility & Conduct (The "Good Conduct" Stage)

The Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) is mandatory to prove you have no criminal record involving “honor or trust.”

Phase 3: Financial & Living Standards

You must demonstrate the “financial capacity” to support a child’s education, healthcare, and lifestyle.

Salary Certificate: Issued by your employer (stating position and monthly income).
Bank Statements: Usually for the last 3 to 6 months.
Proof of Housing: * Ejari (Lease Contract): Must be in the name of the applicant. Title Deed: If you own the property.
House Map/Photos: Often requested during the CDA social study to ensure a "safe and suitable" environment.

Phase 4: Health & Psychological Readiness (The "Home Study")

The UAE requires a thorough assessment of your physical and mental fitness.

Medical Fitness Report: Proof that you are free from infectious diseases (HIV, Hepatitis, etc.) from a government-approved health center.
Psychological Evaluation Report:A report from a licensed clinical psychologist (e.g., HRIC or The LightHouse Arabia) confirming you are emotionally ready for parenthood.
Written Undertaking/Pledge: A signed document promising to respect the child’s identity and religious background and to provide a stable home.

Phase 5: For International Adoptions (Visa Sponsorship)

If you are adopting a child from outside the UAE (e.g., from India or another country), you will need these additional documents for the Dubai Courts and GDRFA to sponsor the child’s visa:

Final Adoption Decree: Issued by the court in the child's home country.
Attested Birth Certificate of the Child: Showing the names of the parents (as per the adoption order).
NOC from Embassy: A No-Objection Certificate from your home country’s embassy in the UAE.
Health Insurance: Proof of a valid UAE health insurance plan for the child.

Important Note on Attestation: Any document issued outside the UAE (Birth/Marriage certificates, International PCC) must be attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in the issuing country, the UAE Embassy in that country, and finally by MOFA within the UAE.
