Stepparent adoption covers when a current spouse or partner wants to become the legal parent of a child who is not biologically theirs. A solicitor guides the process through the Family Court, coordinating social work assessments, the child’s welfare and evidence about the suitability of the placement. They prepare and file the necessary documents, obtain consent from birth parents where possible, address any objections, and help finalize an Adoption Order so the stepparent gains parental rights and duties.
Adoptive orders are regulated by professional rules and subject to court scrutiny. A solicitor ensures the correct welfare considerations are addressed, handles the evidence from social workers, and manages the conduct of the case in court and with the child’s birth family. They must maintain client accounts and comply with professional standards throughout the process.

Tagged solicitor Lisa Jane Lane
Lisa returned my first telephone call quickly and arranged for the initial meeting within a few days where she explained exactly the requirements. When the documents were ready for signing she arranged for an independent witness, who was known to us, to be present and to countersign the documents. The whole process through to the registration of the PoA's with the Office of the Public Guardian was conducted professionally.
