HOW TO ADOPT A CHILD AND THE LAW IN PAKISTAN

Pakistan does not have a specific rule on adoption, so it is important to follow the right steps if you want to legally adopt a child.

Health Check-Up of the Child:

Before starting the adoption process, get the child checked out by a reputable pediatrician and get a report saying the child is healthy.

Prepare Adoption Contract:

Write up a complete adoption contract that lists the child's biological parents, adopting parents, where the child will live, the reasons for the adoption, and the adopting parents' right to keep custody of the child at any time. The lawyers at BlueStoneHorse Law Associates can help you write this contract so that it fits your needs.

Get a Guardianship Certificate from the Court:

Once the adoption contract is signed, you need to file a case with the guardian court to be named the child's guardian. The court will send a letter to the biological parents, and after hearing from both sides and looking at the paperwork, they will be given a guardianship certificate for the adopted child. BlueStoneHorse Law Associates will handle the court process for you, so you won't have to go to court as often.

 Going on a Trip Abroad with the Child:

 You need official permission from the court if you want to take the adopted child on a trip abroad. After getting the care certificate, you should ask the court for permission to take the child on a trip outside of the country. The court will look at the reasons for the trip and give permission based on those reasons.

You can properly adopt a child in Pakistan if you follow these steps with the help of an experienced lawyer. This will protect your rights as adopting parents.
