There are many NGO’s, support groups that offer in person, by internet help for such cases…

Then there are decisions by court of law in specific situations…

There are many threads on similar queries that you can search in Threads, Articles, Files etc by SEARCH option e.g;

Article under my profile;

Adoption of Married Person  

From your query it can be read and guessed that you are financially independent and have family support and have read about the mater..

If you are unable to handle the matter on your own approach a very able LOCAL senior counsels of unshakable repute and integrity specializing in such/civil  matters  and well versed with latest citations, LOCAL applicable rules/laws/ revenue codes… and having successful track record…. and worth his/her salt…..and show the case related docs etc etc

 

Inquire at LOCAL courts for such counsels…
