Firstly, under traditional Muslim personal law, adoption isn’t recognised. However, the Supreme Court held (in 2014) that individuals from any religion can adopt a child under the Juvenile Justice (Care And Protection Of Children) Act, 2000. Muslims, in India, can therefore, adopt.
Secondly, with respect to international adoptions, the Hague Convention governs and coordinates international adoptions through a central authority in each country. India is a party to the Hague Convention and The Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) is the authority in India. Palestine is not a party to the Hague Convention. There is no specific agency that coordinates with other countries for international adoptions. The Palestinian Authority Ministry of Social Development (MoSD) is the only official entity authorised to grant Palestinian adoptions. The ministry regulations state that all adoptive parents must be an existing family consisting of two spouses residing together and they must be Palestinian citizens. If you do wish to adopt internationally, you need to first establish custody of the child in Palestinian courts. It is not possible to bring a Palestinian child to India for adoption purposes.
