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.

I would like to thank my legal team for all the support they have given me throughout my case. They have been professional, approachable and understanding, and I have always felt that they listened to my concerns and took them seriously. The court process has been a difficult and stressful experience, but having a legal team that I could rely on made things much easier. They explained things to me clearly and helped me understand what was happening at each stage. I really appreciate the time, effort and support they have put into my case. I feel that they have represented me well and worked hard to make sure my views were properly heard. I am very grateful for everything they have done for me and my family.
