Law firms ranked by client reviews

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.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The key decision is the adoption order, which permanently transfers parental rights and responsibilities. A solicitor provides guidance on timing, evidence, and any competing claims, and ensures timetables and court steps are met, with attention to safeguarding and the child’s welfare throughout the process.

Rebecca Gardiner

Tagged solicitor Rebecca Gardiner

Rebecca made a difficult situation easier through her fair, honest and friendly approach. I felt I had a strong and supportive advisor in my corner as my wife and I worked through an amicable divorce settlement. I was tested on a few occasions and Rebecca's wisdom and firm advice (at times) held me to account so I, as did my wife receive a fair split based on our different situations. Rebecca was always quick to respond and went above and beyond with follow-up points when finalising my case..
