Law firms ranked by client reviews

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 Terri Anson-Dean enough for her exceptional support, professionalism, and dedication throughout a very challenging family matter. From the beginning, Terri provided clear advice, practical guidance, and reassurance during what was often a stressful and emotionally demanding process. She was always well prepared, responsive, and committed to achieving a fair outcome. Her attention to detail and understanding of the legal issues gave me confidence at every stage. Thanks to Terri's hard work and persistence, we were able to successfully navigate court proceedings and reach a positive outcome. Throughout the process, she remained calm, professional, and focused on what was most important, particularly the best interests of the children and the fair resolution of the issues involved. I am deeply grateful not only for Terri's legal expertise but also for the care, patience, and encouragement she showed throughout. She went above and beyond to support me during a very difficult period of my life. I would highly recommend Terri Anson-Dean to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate family solicitor. Thank you, Terri, for everything you have done for me and my family.
