ABDUL RAZIQUE (Expert) 15 October 2015
you may adopt by court.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 17 October 2015
The right to adopt a child - till now restricted to Hindus, Buddhists and Jains - now extends to Muslims, Christians, Jews, Parsis and all other communities. Adoption makes one natural parents and the child also gets all rights akin to a naturally born child and even inherit property. The plea for declaring the right of a child to be adopted and right of a parent to adopt will not be a fundamental right under the Constitution under such personal laws.
In any case an adult cannot be adopted under any law operative in the country.
