Dear Client, as per your query, the process of step-parent adoption in India commences with filing a petition in the District/Family Court after registering on the Child Adoption Resource Information and Guidance System (CARINGS) portal. The process requires consent from the biological parent, proof of legal marriage between the couple, and consent from the child if he or she is above five years of age. . I hope this answer is helpful. In case of further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank You.
