‘The making of an adoption order changes a child’s family law status and legal identity forever, and only in the most exceptional circumstances is an adoption order ever revoked; most likely, if at all, as a result of serious procedural unfairness or irregularity, or misrepresentation. It is a well-established legal principle that, therefore, all “realistic” options need to be explored before adoption is endorsed as a child’s care plan. That is no different when it comes to the voluntary relinquishment of a child for adoption, by both parents, or more likely, by one parent, the mother.’
