HOW CAN VARDAGS HELP WITH YOUR ADOPTION MATTER?
To adopt a child in the UK, the court must issue an adoption order, which terminates the legal relationship between the child and their birth parents and establishes a new one with the adoptive parents. The child's birth certificate is then replaced with an adoption certificate, officially naming the adoptive parents.
International adoption, also known as intercountry adoption, is a complex process both legally and procedurally. It is essential to plan meticulously and seek legal advice both in the UK and in the child's country of origin before proceeding. Without proper guidance, prospective adopters might unintentionally commit legal offences, despite their good intentions.
As a top family law firm, incorporating world-leading expertise in fertility, adoption and family law, Vardags can help you steer you through this complex process. Our advice can help you with any issues that have arisen during, or after, the adoption process, including advising you on adoption applications made under the Hague Convention 1993 on Protection of Children and co-operation in respect of inter-country adoption.
We cover the full range of international adoption matters. Our clients are typically in one of the following scenarios:
- Considering international adoption and want legal advice on options
- Undergoing international adoption,and need legal advice
- Undergoing or have undergone international adoption, and are in a dispute with someone
- Have adopted a child internationally and need legal advice
- Have had a child via assisted reproduction or adoption need a will
We can guide you through every step, ensuring that all details are meticulously addressed and minimising the risk of any issues arising later.
