WE are greencard holder in US. We would like to adopt a child from India and bring here. Can we do that? What would be the legal status of the child?

Re: Immigration and adoption
You are not yet a citizen of USA; as such there is no bar in adopting a child in India. Once you adopt the child, he becomes your child, and I do not see any problem in taking him back to USA. However, more details are required for a cogent reply.
Re: Immigration and adoption
You must be a US citizen in order to adopt a child from a foreign country.
Re: Immigration and adoption
Dear Sir / Madam,
Yes, it is possible to adopt a child from India. However, to give you a conclusive opinion, we need the following information:
- nationality of both prospective parents.
- legal status of both prospective parents.
- if the prospective parents already have children / adopted children (if yes, nationality of origin of the adopted children).
Thank you for sending us the information required. Once received, we will answer your questions.
Sincerely yours,
Dubey and Partners.
