Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What are the key legal steps in adoption? The process includes applying to an adoption agency, assessment, approval, matching with a child, and finally, applying to the court for an adoption order.

2. Is surrogacy legal in the UK and what are my rights? Surrogacy is legal, but certain commercial agreements are not permitted. Obtaining a parental order after the birth is essential to secure your legal rights.

3. Can single individuals or same-sex couples adopt or pursue surrogacy? Absolutely. UK law permits both single individuals and couples (regardless of gender) to adopt or use surrogacy, and we have extensive experience advising in these circumstances.

4. How long does the adoption or surrogacy process take? The timeframe can vary depending on your circumstances. Generally, adoption may take a few months to over a year; surrogacy timelines depend on arrangements and legal proceedings.

5. What documents or information will I need to start? You’ll need identification documents, proof of residence, and, if applicable, relevant court or agency paperwork. We’ll provide a detailed checklist tailored to your situation.
