Adoption issues.
There are complex legal issues and tests to meet in any adoption process. The child’s biological family may still be involved with the child in some way or may have no contact with the child at all. Consideration must be given as to whether the child should continue to have any contact with his/her biological parent(s).
The child’s views can be important, depending on the age of the child. Many decisions regarding the adoption will already have been taken by the Local Authority. As experienced family lawyers, we are able to analyse your situation, guide you through the complexities of the adoption process, and advise you on the likelihood of success, no matter what you are trying to achieve.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for adoption advice in your specific circumstances.
