Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -22. Can biological parents come back for their child? No, once the adoption order has been granted, the biological parents have no legal ties with the child.

Detailed explanation-2: -If a parent does not have Parental Responsibility (PR), the court is not required to have their consent before making an adoption order. However, if this parent has a close connection with their child, it is likely the court will want to find out their views, as well as the child’s.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is possible to put a child up for adoption without the father’s consent. In the future, however, if the father decides that he wants his child, then this may place an already established adoption in jeopardy. The father at that point may have the right to sue for custody of his child.

Detailed explanation-4: -Only a child under 18 years of age can be legally adopted in India. A 21-year-old is considered to be an adult in India. He or she can decide to live with anyone of his/her choice. Therefore, the question of adoption doesn’t even arise in this case.
