Adoption made clear and supportive
Adoption transfers legal parenting rights to new parents. Whether the adoptive parent is a relative, step-parent, family friend or someone new, the process requires clear legal steps.
In New Zealand, approval from Oranga Tamariki is needed for local adoptions, while international adoptions involve the New Zealand Central Authority. Wakefields Lawyers provide supportive, plain-English guidance at every stage.
From preparing documents to navigating requirements, you receive compassionate, practical advice tailored to your family’s needs.
