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.

I cannot thank Sarah enough for everything she has done for my daughter and me. This has been a long, exhausting, and emotional journey, and throughout it all Sarah has shown nothing but kindness, compassion, and unwavering support. From the very beginning, she listened to me, believed me, and made me feel truly heard when I needed it most. Sarah is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knows exactly what she is doing. Her expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail gave me confidence throughout the entire process. Whenever I had concerns or questions, she was able to explain things clearly, provide reassurance, and guide me in the right direction. Knowing that someone so experienced was supporting us made an enormous difference during such a difficult time. There were times when I felt overwhelmed and uncertain about what the future would hold, but Sarah was always there to offer reassurance, guidance, and understanding. Her patience, genuine care, and dedication helped me navigate one of the most challenging periods of my life with confidence and hope. Because of Sarah's support, my daughter and I can finally move forward with our lives and focus on building a happy future together. The positive impact she has had on our lives is something I will never forget. Sarah goes above and beyond for the people she supports, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had her by my side throughout this process. Her dedication, empathy, expertise, and commitment have made a life-changing difference for our family. Thank you, Sarah, for believing in me, supporting us every step of the way, and helping us reach this point. I will always be grateful for everything you have done, and I would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone who needs support, guidance, and someone who genuinely cares.

Khizar Hussain

Tagged solicitor Khizar Hussain

I would not hesitate to recommend Dynasty Law for family court representation. They were professional throughout and kept me fully informed about what to expect at each hearing, which made a daunting process feel far less overwhelming. Khizar and Zayn have been great, and I couldn’t have asked for better representation.

Bethan Tapper

Tagged solicitor Bethan Tapper

What can I say? Not all superheroes wear capes, and Bethan is a shining example of this truth. From the moment I called her and we ‘opened the book and placed it on the shelf’ to the call I made and said… ‘that book, it’s time to take it off the shelf and open it’ to the moment we finished (hopefully) the last page and placed it back on the shelf! we hope we don’t need to speak again. However, should I ever need to revisit that book, it’s without a doubt Bethan will be the one I want by my side! Throughout this experience, Bethan was nothing short of extraordinary. For anyone searching for unwavering support, she is the one to have in your corner. I cannot thank her enough for her calming presence, her ability to listen, and, most importantly, her steadfast focus on our ultimate goal—my daughter’s well-being. This incredible woman earned my trust, not just with my life but with my daughter’s too, which was paramount. Diolch! Thank you!
