I am in the UK on a Tier 2 (Intra company transfer) visa. My wife is on a dependent visa with me. I want to adopt my younger brother's recently born child (my brother and his child are Indian residents). Appreciate guidance on the process that I need to follow to adopt and bring the child to the UK. Thank you.

You must follow the adoption laws of the country you’re in if you’re normally resident in that country and want to adopt.

You must follow UK adoption law if you’re normally resident in the UK, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands. This is sometimes called ‘habitual residence’ and can apply even if you’re living abroad at the time of the adoption.

Please see Point 18. SET7.18 in the link below

You will struggle (virtually impossible) to bring a child in the circumstances you describe, the immigration rules do not make provision for this.
