Family Law – Adoption

Adoption Solicitor Services

If You are Thinking about Adopting a Child? – We Can Help

Adoption provides a permanent home and family to a child who can’t be brought up by their own family, and can transform the lives of some of the most vulnerable children in society.
When a child is adopted the new parents are legally granted parental responsibility via an official adoption order and all parental rights are transferred to the adopting parents. This means that the child’s birth parents, and anyone else previously with parental responsibility then lose all legal rights and responsibilities relating to the child.

All communication and support from Jennings is completely confidential so you don’t need to worry about contacting us.

Adoption is a specialist and complex area of law and Jennings have specialist solicitors with a wealth of experience and understanding who can advise and make the necessary legal arrangements for you.

We can deal with the following adoption types:

Step-parent Adoption
Foster Parent Adoption
Local Authority Adoption – when it is your child who is potentially being placed for adoption by a local authority
Domestic Adoption – an adoption of a child within England and Wales where the child is either a family member or in the care of the local authority
International Adoption – an adoption where the child is being brought from an outside country into England and Wales and whose adopters are resident in England and Wales
