Adoption Agencies in India Choosing the right adoption agency is very important. As adoption itself is a very emotional process, make sure you are comfortable with the social workers and the agency you will be working with. Visit a few adoption agencies (if possible) and ask lots of questions. It is not improper to ask for the names and numbers of people who had recently adopted from them, for reference.

A word of caution - it is important that you do not get put off by the laborious paper work and legal procedures, and settle for private, illegal, out-of-court settlements. You could choose one of the placement agencies recognized by the Central Adoption Resource Agency (CARA), from the following list:
