Change in Indian Adoption Procedures.

March 26, 2009. Change in Indian Adoption Procedures. The U.S. embassy in New Delhi has announced that as of April 1, 2009 adoption procedures in India will be centralized. All cases will be processed in New Delhi and not, as formerly, at consulates throughout the country. The State Department is of the opinion that this centralization will be good for international adoption. It will allow the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) and the U.S. embassy to work together in a timely and consistent manner on all IA cases. These new rules affect both Hague and Non-Hague cases. More Information.
