Relative Adoption covers legally adopting a child where the prospective adoptive parent is a relative or someone close to the child, in England. A solicitor in this area handles applications to the family court for an adoption order, drafts and negotiates the consent and related welfare reports, prepares the necessary court documents, and liaises with the local authority, adopters, and the child’s birth family. The process is guided by the Adoption and Children Act 2002 and care proceedings when relevant, and results in the transfer of parental rights to the adoptive relative. The work may involve welfare assessments, home studies, and post-adoption matters such as contact arrangements.

“I sought legal advice from Jacob and Reeves for family disputes and children arrangements. Tom Killick was amazing. I can not praise him enough. He was very professional and always had time for my case. He listened and understood straight away what i was seeking for my children. I couldn't survive this highly stressful time without Tom Killick's expertise. I would highly recommend anyone seeking legal representation to go to Jacob and Reeves. I couldn't fault them at all. By far the best solicitor practice and solicitor I have ever known.”
