Local Authority Adoption in England covers the process by which a local authority facilitates permanent, legal caregiving for a child when a long‑term placement with their birth family is not possible. A solicitor helps adopters and birth parents with court applications, where the local authority must apply for an adoption order, arrange reports, and liaise with adoption agencies and guardians to ensure the child’s welfare and permanence are secured through legal orders under the Adoption and Children Act 2002.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key protection is securing a legally permanent home for a child through an adoption order, with safeguards around consent, parental rights, and the child’s welfare. Solicitors ensure compliance with court procedures, gather and present evidence, and coordinate with social workers, guardians and the court to avoid delays and preserve the child’s position.

Georgina BurrowsOlivia Bailey

Tagged solicitors Georgina Burrows and Olivia Bailey

I had originally contacted Greens solicitors ltd to enquire about representation for changing my daughter's surname. After speaking with Georgina via video call it was agreed to go for further orders in my daughter's case. I met with Olivia who represented myself in court on both occasions and I honestly cannot express how happy and appreciative I am of everything she done for me. She kept me informed on each step and was able to answer any questions or concerns i had. Olivia had my daughter's best interests at heart and gathered all evidence that was beneficial for my case.
