How frequently do we need to send post-placement reports on a child after legally adopting a child and to whom?
For Adoptions in India, reports need to be sent to BSSK with a copy to ICSW and the Family Court (if applicable). The frequency is: quarterly (every three months) reports for 2 years and thereafter half yearly (every six months) reports for the next 3 years. For Inter-Country Adoptions (including NRI), the frequency of reports depends on respective courts. Although CARA mentions reports need to be sent at least for 2 years or until such time as the legal adoption is completed and citizenship is acquired in the receiving country.
