Private adoption concerns arranging a permanent, legally formal placement of a child with adoptive parents outside of a local authority care plan, typically through the family courts under the Adoption and Children Act 2002. A solicitor helps with applying for an adoption order, drafting and filing court documents, and coordinating with potential adopters, birth relatives, and guardians. They also obtain home-study reports, assess suitability, address safeguarding and contact orders, and prepare or respond to any contested issues that arise in court proceedings.

Why this work is usually handled by a solicitor

A solicitor explains the legal thresholds for allowing an adoption, helps gather and present evidence about the welfare of the child, and ensures compliance with professional standards and safeguarding rules, including conduct of court proceedings and adherence to regulatory duties. The process hinges on protecting the child’s welfare throughout the court process, with professional accountability and rights of audience in the family courts.

Throughout this long process Zara was always easy to contact and quick to respond to queries. Navigating the complex child arrangement legal system alongside Zara and Belle I felt well supported and genuinely cared for. Work was always completed quickly and to a really high standard.
