NEW DELHI
New adoption regulations issued by the women and child development ministry lay out the process for district magistrates to issue adoption orders which earlier fell in the domain of the courts till the amended Juvenile Justice Model (Amendment) Rule 2022 came into force on September 1.
With the district magistrates (DM) getting a maximum of two months to pass adoption orders, adoption agencies have to file an application for an order from the DM through the District Child Protection Unit within 10 days of matching the child with prospective adoptive parents.
For those above two, four months have to pass.
