Allow Adoptee Rights to Revoke Own Adoption

Petition Details

We call on the UK Government to allow all Adult Adoptees the right to seek legalised emancipation / revocation from their respective adoptive parents and to do so under the Children’s Act as laid out within UK legislation and the Rights of the Child.

Additional Information

We seek a subsection be created and added to the Adoption Act whereby a child on reaching age of maturity be automatically awarded legal privilege to apply to the courts for revocation of their own adoption and to do so with the financial support under Legal Aid and/or Adoption support fund. Any such application to be allowed the right to be heard and supported whereby the applicant adoptee will be allowed the rights to choose their own family, a right previously not afforded them as a minor.
