We see two types of adoption in India. First, there are children who, as you described, are orphans and are either in an orphanage or in the custody of family members. These applications are generally given priority, like applications for spouses and natural children.
The second type of adoption, which has a very high refusal rate, involves mainly individuals who are still living with their natural parents but are then adopted by an uncle or aunt. Very often, these people are adolescents or even young adults. In these cases, we meet with the children and the adoptive and natural parents in an interview. The process is therefore longer.
