Adoption, including intercountry adoption, covers the legal process to permanently place a child with a new family and to end the legal relationship with the birth parents. A solicitor helps with bringing or contesting an adoption application, preparing and lodging documents under the Adoption and Children Act 2002, and guiding the case through court procedures. For intercountry adoptions, they assist with the Hague Convention framework, ensure home-country safeguards are met, and address ongoing post-adoption responsibilities in England.
The solicitor handles the legal interest in safeguarding the child’s welfare, validates consent, manages evidence of suitability and placement, and navigates court authorisation. They also coordinate with local authorities, adoption agencies, and, for international cases, the relevant foreign authorities, ensuring all registration and post-adoption duties are fulfilled to secure a legally valid, lasting placement.
