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.

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.
