Adopting a step-child can be a wonderful experience for a family. However, this does not mean it is without its complications.
Expert Legal Advice for Adoption Applications and Opposition…
Applying to adopt a child is a life-changing legal step that requires careful consideration. An Adoption Order has permanent and far-reaching consequences — not just for the child, but for future generations. It legally severs ties with the birth family and creates a new, legally binding parental relationship.
Adoption is the most significant order a family court can make, permanently ending the parental responsibility of the birth parents and overriding any existing legal orders or family arrangements.
At Patrick Lawrence Partnership, our skilled and compassionate family law solicitors have extensive experience guiding clients through every stage of the adoption process. Whether you're applying to adopt a child or need legal advice on how adoption may affect your family, we are here to help.
We also represent birth parents wishing to oppose an adoption order, providing expert legal support in highly sensitive and complex cases. Our team will ensure that your voice is heard and your rights are protected throughout the process.
