India Adoption Law Question?

If a person were to be adopted from Calcutta in the late 1980's would Americans have been allowed to adopt and also would that prospective parent have had to travel and stay in India for a certain amount of time in order for the adoption to go through?

Dear Barati,

Here's what I could find:

"Since the 1980's, XXX has been placing Indian children with U.S. families."
- An adoption agency website.

This site explains a little about adoption law in India in the 80's. There was a significant law made in 1980 that addressed Christians and other religions adopting from India.

http://www.csa.org.in/article_gaurang.html

You could research India case law (available online) for more detailed information.

I would say that yes, and American could have adopted in Calcutta in the 1980's and most likely would have to at least travel there to physically obtain the child and have the necessary travel documents prepared.

Are you writing a story? There are quite a few who come here for information. If so, I hope that you will do some more research (on your own) to find more accurate information!
