Hi everyone,
The new CARA's guidelines are in process of being changed further to the
Amendment To The Indian Citizenship Act Passed ... 29 December, 2005 the article was mentionning as follows :
“ADOPTION BY OVERSEAS INDIAN PARENTS The Ministry has been actively pursuing the concerns of NRIs/PIOs with the Central Adoption Resources Agency (CARA) of the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment regarding inter-country adoptions. CARA is
presently revising guidelines on inter-country adoptions and proposing NRI/PIOs to be deemed on parity with resident Indians in all cases concerning adoption. Once the guidelines are revised and finalized, MOIA will arrange to give this wide publicity in India and Overseas.” (

Let's hope the changes will be "operational" soon and as the NRI/PIO will be deemed on parity with indian residing in India the babies referred should be much younger then !
