Adoption

Our Services:

• Legal Advice and Guidance: Our experienced solicitors offer expert legal advice and guidance to prospective adopters, explaining the adoption process in detail and addressing any questions or concerns you may have. We ensure that you fully understand your rights and responsibilities as an adoptive parent.
• Adoption Applications: We assist clients in preparing and submitting adoption applications to the relevant authorities, including local authorities, adoption agencies, and the courts. Our team ensures that all necessary paperwork is completed accurately and efficiently, streamlining the adoption process.
• Matching and Placement: We work closely with adoption agencies and authorities to facilitate the matching and placement process. Our solicitors advocate for our clients’ preferences and interests, ensuring that they are matched with a child who is the right fit for their family.
• Legal Representation: Throughout the adoption process, our solicitors provide dedicated legal representation, advocating for our clients’ interests in court hearings and proceedings. We handle all legal aspects of the adoption, including parental consent, termination of parental rights, and final adoption orders.
• Inter-country Adoption: If you are considering adopting a child from overseas, we can assist you in navigating the complex legal requirements associated with inter-country adoption. Our solicitors ensure compliance with UK adoption laws as well as international adoption regulations.
