Legal Help

These websites have advice lines and information on legal issues that surround adoption and fostering:

Department for Education and Skills' Adoption website
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.

BAAF (British Association for Adoption and Fostering)
BAAF is the leading UK charity working for children separated from their birth families, and all those concerned with adoption, fostering and child care.
