    An adoption order transfers parental rights and responsibilities to a new family, creating a permanent, legally recognised parent–child relationship. In England, a solicitor advises on and progresses adoption applications through the Family Court, gathering home studies, reports from social services, and welfare assessments, and handling consent from birth parents where possible. The work includes applying for, responding to, and defending against related orders, ensuring the child’s best interests are met and finalising the adoption with a court decree.
