To register for adoption with CARA, prospective adoptive parents need to upload several documents. These include a current family photograph, proof of identity (Aadhar card, passport, etc.), proof of residence, proof of income, a medical certificate of fitness, and a marriage certificate or divorce decree (if applicable).

In the "Motivation for Adoption" section on a CARA (Central Adoption Resource Authority) application, prospective adoptive parents should clearly articulate their reasons for wanting to adopt a child. This should include their desire to provide a loving and stable home, their capacity to nurture and care for a child, and their understanding of the responsibilities involved in raising an adopted child. 

In CARA (Central Adoption Resource Authority) adoptions, the Specialized Adoption Agency (SAA) is responsible for conducting the Home Study Report (HSR) of prospective adoptive parents. The HSR assesses the suitability of the parents for adoption and is a crucial step in the adoption process. The timeline for completion is within sixty days from the date of submission of the required documents.
