Adoption

Adoption is a legal proceeding that places a child with a non-biologically related parent enabling the child to have the same legal rights as if he or she was blood related. We will be able to explain the procedures you will be required to go through, as well as your current and future legal rights, and the legal rights of the adopted child. Because of the emotional nature of adoptions, the legal framework seeks to protect individual rights. Occasionally these interests conflict (e.g. the rights of the birth parents and the adoptive parents).After an adoption order is made. It is possible (although very rarely allowed) for such orders to be terminated.

If you are thinking of an adoption or you are an adopted child or birth parent and want legal advice then contact us.
