We are delighted to announce that Ellul & Cruz has achieved a significant legal milestone, having successfully obtained the first Adoption Order following a Placement Order under the new legislation.

‍

Janieve Hawkins, Director of Ellul & Cruz and Partner in the Family Law Department commented: "It has been an honour and a privilege to represent the Applicants in this case. We very much welcome the new Adoption Act as the previous legislative framework required modernisation to streamline the adoption process and ensure greater efficiency for all parties involved.”

‍

Fostering and adoption play a crucial role in our community, providing stable, loving homes for children who need them most. We encourage anyone interested in learning more about fostering to contact the Care Agency for further information.

For any queries regarding the adoption process, please do not hesitate to contact our Family Department, who will be happy to assist.
