Reading: My uncle and aunt adopted a little boy three years ago from a friend of a relative in Delhi. They didn’t go through the legal process and don’t have the boy’s birth certificate. Sadly, they’ve lost contact with the person they adopted him from. This is causing problems with things like school admissions. What can they do to get a birth certificate and become his legal guardians?

Your uncle and aunt need to approach the court to legally adopt the child. They will need to file a petition for adoption, providing evidence of the child’s identity and their relationship with him. The court will then investigate the situation and decide on the adoption.
