Thus,the title equips practitioners with the tools required to advise a client on how to: adopt a child in this country who is habitually resident outside of the British Isles; obtain legal recognition in the UK for a foreign adoption; and arrange for the adoption of a child who is habitually resident in this country, where the prospective adopter is domiciled and habitually resident outside of the British Isles. The book also includes appropriate specialist information in relation to immigration matters, so as to alert the reader to the potential issues that may need to be considered. All relevant forms and statutory materials are reproduced in the Appendices"--Unedited summary from book cover.
