Adoption
Family law advice on adoption, consent and the effect of an adoption order from solicitors in Billericay, Essex.
About Adoption
Adoption changes a child's legal family relationships and is subject to a formal process. The steps depend on the circumstances, including whether the proposal involves a step-parent, an agency or an overseas connection. Consent, assessment and the child's welfare need careful consideration.
Key Points
- Explain the child's current family and care arrangements.
- Keep relevant orders and agency correspondence.
- Check the process before assuming one form of adoption fits every family.
