Adoption Lawyers
Adoption is a complex process. The details and legal considerations for adoption proceedings are often unique and delicate.
If you are a parent adopting children across borders, we can support you on your adoption journey by advising on the cross-border recognition of adoption orders. We can provide you with legal representation services through the court process, as well as helping resolve immigration or nationality issues for your child.
Our experience includes:
• International adoptions
• Second parent adoptions
• Recognition of foreign domestic adoptions
• Specialist wills and estate planning
We have been involved in various reported cases in this area, including representing the adopters in the case of Re A (Foreign Adoption Recognition) [2018] EWHC 3468 (Fam) in relation to the recognition of a foreign adoption order under English law. A full list of our reported cases is available here.
Michael Wells-Greco is a leading expert on international child law, reflected in his appointment as a consultant lawyer and expert to the Permanent Bureau of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH). is an Assistant Professor at Royal Holloway, University of London where he lectures on international family and child law. He has also co-authored a textbook on European Union Law and a specialist book on inter-country surrogacy.
