A adoption deed can be made as you are Hindu. It can be then notarized it or registered whatever you want. If the party have agreed to give you the child then notary is enough. It is not mandatory to register it.

Thereafter a Petition can be filed for you both to be parents of the adopted child in the Court additionally if required add prayers for directions to modify name in the birth certifacte of the child.
