Adoption dates back centuries and it concerns the transfer of legal rights, responsibilities and the creation of legal relationships of a child. Cygnet Law has a team of specialist adoption and family law solicitors who can carry out the process of adopting a child, so the child is treated in law as if born to that person. The laws surrounding adoption can be complex, so talking it through with our specialist solicitors is the best route to take.
Adopting a child can be a very emotionally taxing process, so our expert family law team will talk you through each stage and ensure that you fully understand everything it entails.
There are many complexities surrounding the legal process which can have significant and transformative effects on the nature of a parental relationship with a child. The law surrounding adopting a child is highly regulated, meaning a person may commit a criminal offence if they don’t correctly follow the law. We aim to make adoption a smooth, stress-free procedure with our services and help you to clearly understand everything involved.
