Adoption Support Plans
We are able to provide advice and assistance on proposed Adoption Support Plans.
Many adoption applications are straightforward, however on occasion a birth parent may seek leave (permission) to oppose your adoption application by seeking to establish a change in their circumstances since the child’s placement order was made. We can assist you to oppose the application.
If permission is granted and your adoption becomes a contested adoption we can advise and assist you throughout the court process.
The Children and Families Act 2014 implemented new provisions relating to post adoption contact. We can advise upon this.
