Hi Lordna,

Did you see a solicitor before you contacted your local authority?

Today, I emailed the family court who gave me the site where to obtain the form. Printed and read through the form which I found straightforward - and I'm confident I and my husband can do the adoption order application, just like we did with our visas.

Part of it is the Social Services Report which I phoned my local council about, and they told me we can't start until we seek/talk to a solicitor first.

Thanks
