Where we can help you
At Family Law Sheffield we will explain the different options you have once you have made the exciting decision to adopt. There are different routes you can follow when choosing to adopt. Adoption can be done domestically through your local council or a voluntary adoption agency. Alternatively, adoption can be done internationally by adopting a child from overseas. Our team of expert Family Law solicitors have vast experience in all kinds of adoption and will explain carefully to you the benefits of each route to help you decide which is best for you.
Domestic Adoption
Adopting through a voluntary adoption agency or through your local council will involve an exhaustive application process including several visits from social workers, attending preparation classes and applying for an adoption court order. Family Law Sheffield will advise you on what to expect throughout and what the agency or local council will be looking for. Our team of experts strive to make sure that you are fully informed at each stage to ensure that the adoption process proceeds as smoothly as possible.
International adoption
Adopting overseas can be a stressful experience but one that is potentially very rewarding. Much like a domestic adoption, an overseas adoption is done through your local council or a voluntary adoption agency. It will involve extra steps such as visiting the child in their own country and the application process does involve a fee. The potential for legal complexities arising is such that it is important that legal advice is sought from an early stage and we at Family Law Sheffield have the experience and the expertise to guide you through the process effectively and efficiently.
