Adoption

Where a child has been placed with you, or you have been accepted as eligible to adopt, we can assist with the legal process required to formalise the adoption.

Adoption is the legal process where the relationship of parent and child is created by an order of a court.  The process of adoption is no longer restricted to single people and married couples;  changes in recent years have extended a list of those who can apply to adopt a child, for example couples in civil partnerships and cohabiting couples, including same sex couples.
