A guide to adopting a child in the UK
Our specialist adoption team supports clients looking to adopt a child in the UK with legal advice to ensure they have the information they need to make key decisions, and that the necessary documentation is in place, and legal formalities complied with.
We can also advise on cases where people want to adopt a child within the family, such as stepchildren.
