Right in property after adoption
An adoptee can take only that property to his adoptive family from his birth family which is already vested in the adoptee prior to adoption by inheritance or by partition in the natural family or as sole surviving coparcener as he becomes its absolute owner. Clause (b) of the proviso to section 12 cannot be attracted when the property has not been vested in him and is still a fluctuating coparcener property; Devgonda Raygonda Patil v. Shamgonda Raygonda Patil, AIR 1992 Bom 189.

Vested property
�Vested property� in the context of clause (b) of the proviso to section 12 means property in which indefeasible right is created, i.e., on no contingency it can be defeated in respect of particular property; Devgonda Raygonda Patil v. Shamgonda Raygonda Patil, AIR 1992 Bom 189.

If there was NO giving and taking, NO adoption deed then or later then what was done to fulfill requisites of valid adoption?
Your query does post that child was with the Lady and lady took care of the child (relative)!
