Adoption

Adoption is a legal process that creates a new, permanent parent-child relationship where one didn't exist before. 

Adoption bestows on the adoptive parent(s) all the rights and responsibilities of a legal parent, and gives the child being adopted all the social, emotional, and legal rights and responsibilities of a family member. 

This can be an exciting and anxious time for many new adoptive parents. Kidwells Law Family solicitors can support you through this process including the adoption proceedings which take place in court before a Judge.
