Adoption
The action for adoption is raised by a Court document known as a “petition”. The child(ren) are appointed a curator ( think – guardian) by the Court and the local Social Work Department or Family Team appoints a trained Social Worker to prepare an in depth report into the circumstances of all the relevant people concerned for the Court.
A lot of adoptions are unopposed but can become more complicated if either or both parents object.
