How can I register a foreign adoption order in England and Wales?

Some adoption orders are automatically recognised in England and Wales, such as those made in Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, overseas adoptions from designated countries, and adoptions under the Hague Convention 1993. Any other adoption made abroad will only be recognisable if it satisfies common law criteria. If a foreign adoption is neither automatically recognised, nor recognisable under the common law, then a domestic adoption order will need to be obtained.

The specific process you will need to follow will depend on which country you are adopting from. Following the correct procedure is very important, as failure to do so could result in you committing a criminal offence. To learn more about international adoption, read our guide here.

We can provide expert legal advice as to the best course of action for you and your adopted child, ensuring that you are recognised as the childs parent as securely as swiftly as possible.
