Hi all,
We had a meeting with SW today and she was talking about us getting the paperwork together to do the adoption order.
Just a question, did you have to pay for court fees? If so, how much and when?
Thanks
Swimchic

Ours were paid by LA. IIRC it was £200 ish (but that was a few years ago).

Hi Swimchic,
How exciting :-)
With my two (orders granted separately not that long ago) we had to pay the court fees something like £150 and the LA refunded both after the order went through.
Good luck!!!

Ours was also around £200 and was paid to me beforehand, by LA. I think I sent a cheque with all the paperwork (application).

I also should have paid for the curator (same as guardian ad litum) but she saw shadette in full glory and sent the bill to the placing authority and I never had to pay that one

We get the money for ours with the placement grant - which is normally a couple of months after placement. Luckily we can afford the money so not too worried about putting it to one side but I know it is a concern to other adopters I know.

Hi
We have just adopted no3 and on all our paperwork... Matching reports etc when it said who would be responsible for what and what support we would recurve... It said the la would pay all legal costs for adoption. Bp were denied leave to appeal but we had it in writing that had they been successful, the legal costs of the contrasted adoption would be appealed xxx
