Adoption DFES
This site is intended for anyone involved or interested in adoption and relates to adoption in England. The laws governing adoption in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are very similar so this site will help you too if you are thinking of adopting in those countries.
The purpose of the site is to keep you up-to-date with developments in adoption, bring together the Department's printed material on adoption and to provide links to Web sites associated with adoption. It is not intended to be a complete and authoritative statement of the law.
The site covers the following in detail:
- Introduction to Adoption
- Adoption and Children Bill
- Improving Practice
- Law and Guidance
- Inter-country Adoption
