Adoption from care covers securing a permanent family for a child who is looked after by a local authority, usually through care proceedings and a placement order. A solicitor in this area drafts and files the adoption application, prepares care plans and section 31 orders, gathers evidence, liaises with the local authority, the child’s guardian ad litem, prospective adopters and any birth relatives, and represents the client at court hearings in the family courts. The process is shaped by the courts’ timetables, safeguarding checks, and thresholds for adoption.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

They draft and file the adoption petition, gather the local authority's care plan, seek the court's consent orders, and coordinate with the guardian ad litem, the adopters, and birth relatives. They attend and represent the client at final adoption hearings and ensure required safeguarding checks and placement orders are in place.

Qaisar Sheikh

Tagged solicitor Qaisar Sheikh

Highly recommend Qaisar Sheikh and all who have helped my 19 year old SEN daughter. Over the three years that it took from the LA's initial potential removal of EHCP at the end of 16 plus education to the successful tribunal to include further education at a specialist residential college, we have been supported and updated every step of the way. My daughter's original EHCP was full of outdated information and had only a quarter of what it has in it now. Qaisar helped with engaging the specialist advice to ensure a fully updated EHCP that is now a true representation of her actual needs and suitable provision. Qaisar Sheikh was not only extremely professional and knowledgeable on all levels but has is a very compassionate person. It is easy to see that the his work means a lot to him and how vested he is in achieving a great outcome for all children.
