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.
The key moment is the final decree of adoption, which permanently changes who is legally recognised as the child’s parent and ends the child’s prior legal status. A solicitor helps navigate time-sensitive court steps, safeguarding the child's future and ensuring proper welfare oversight and consent where required.

Mr Sheikh and his team have been tremendously supportive and helpful during our case. A specialist and high-level of legal knowledge was backed with sensitivity and honesty, providing clear information and explaining options carefully. Communication was timely and easy to understand. It was a great relief to know that we were in the hands of such a caring and effective professional. We felt fully supported throughout the process and would not hesitate to recommend Mr Sheikh and Winckworth Sherwood to others. Thank you.
