In the earlier CARA Guidelines for In-Country adoption the provision was there, in new guidelines there is no mention of that.

  28. In one case the PAPs have taken relative adoption and after some time the adopted parents return child to the biological parents. The PAPs again adopted a child (Pre adoption Foster Care) through SAA, and the previously adopted child is now 23 years old, the legalization of adoption is pending, how to proceed.

  29. Inter Country • As there are so many pending applications for domestic adoption applications for normal children cannot be considered by RIPA. • As per CARA Guidelines after receiving the dossier of the PAPs the RIPA shall forward the child related documents to AFAA. But to save time and expenditure the profile of the child may be sent by mail and if the PAPs are willing then the documents may be sent by post
