Surrogacy and Adoption

Surrogacy and Adoption

Becoming a parent is a joyous occasion, filled with happiness and anticipation. In cases where adoption or surrogacy are considered things might not be so simple and the legal complexities can mar the occasion. It is therefore of utmost importance to have the right legal support when considering surrogacy and adoption. Our team of family solicitors experienced in handling surrogacy and adoption matters will be there to guide you on every step, if you have decided to embark on this important journey.

The support we offer for adoption and surrogacy matters include:

Surrogacy

Surrogacy is a legal arrangement in which a woman carries and gives birth to a child for another individual or couple, known as the intended parents. It is a complex process that requires careful consideration of legal, emotional, and ethical factors. We assist intended parents in understanding their rights and obligations, drafting surrogacy agreements, and navigating the legal procedures involved in establishing parental rights. For international surrogacy, we work with our Immigration team, to ensure your baby can be home with you within the shortest period of time as possible and with minimal stress. Our goal is to ensure a smooth and legally secure surrogacy process that respects the rights and well-being of all parties involved, especially the child.

Surrogacy services at RVS Solicitors cover a range of situations, including:

• Intended parents seeking guidance on surrogacy laws and regulations
• Assistance in drafting surrogacy agreements to protect the rights and interests of all parties involved
• Navigating the legal procedures required to establish parental rights for the intended parents, obtaining parental orders
• Resolving legal complexities and disputes that may arise during the surrogacy process
• Ensuring compliance with surrogacy laws and regulations in the UK
• Assisting with immigration or citizenship applications, if the child is born abroad

Adoption

Adoption is a legal process that establishes a permanent legal relationship between a child and adoptive parents who are not their biological parents. It provides a loving and stable home for children who may not be able to live with their birth parents for various reasons. Our dedicated family law solicitors understand the complexities and emotional sensitivities involved in adoption. We provide expert guidance and support to adoptive parents throughout the adoption process, including assessment, matching, placement, and finalisation of the adoption. We work closely with adoption agencies, local authorities, and relevant authorities to ensure compliance with adoption laws and regulations while prioritising the best interests of the child.
