Child Adoption FAQs
Is a local newspaper ad enough?
No. Newspaper ads are the second step. A **Gazette Notification** is the final legal instrument required by PSK and Boards for permanent record updates.
What if the adoption was informal?
Informal adoptions must first be regularized through a registered legal deed in Bihar Civil Court before you can apply for a formal name change Gazette.
