Adoption
This is the process by which a child becomes a full legal member of a new adoptive family. When an Adoption Order is made, the child’s legal status within their natural family is terminated.
These orders may be “closed” whereby the natural family have no further involvement in the child’s life or in some cases, it is appropriate to make an “open” Adoption Order, whereby there is some form of continued contact between the child and some or all members of their natural family.
Adoption Orders aim to provide a stable family environment for a child hopefully with a successful integration into the new family life.
