Adoption

If you wish to adopt a child, call Cleaver Thompson Solicitors in Alfreton and Clay Cross to ensure the adoption process runs smoothly.

Highly trained solicitors

Adoption law is extremely complex, and you need the experience and knowledge of highly trained solicitors who specialise in adoption law.

ACCESS TO EXPERT LEGAL ADVICE

Adopting a child is a huge undertaking and access to expert legal advice is essential. Whether you want to adopt a child from the UK or abroad, we can support you through this process. There are many individuals involved in the adoption process – they include the current guardians, birth parents, local authorities, and the child. You will also need to consider how much contact the child will receive from their biological relatives.

Our compassionate and understanding team

Our solicitors are experts and extremely experienced in the legalities of the adoption process. We will fully explain all your options and advise on any potential complications that may arise, for instance if you are adopting the child from overseas. We will attend conferences, negotiate with social workers, and explain everything you need to consider including costs and timescales. Deciding to adopt can be emotionally challenging but our compassionate and understanding team are on hand to help.

To object to an adoption

If you are the biological parent of a child that is about to be put forward for adoption and you want to stop it going ahead, we can provide you with comprehensive, clear advice on how to object to an adoption. An adoption could go ahead without your consent if it is decided that the child could be in danger if they are not adopted or you have reduced capacity, for example through mental illness.
