Hi, I am shortly going to apply to adopt my foster child. My L/A encourages carers to apply direct to Court, rather than go through them (which you can do when you have had the child in placement for 1 year). I am assuming that this will save them some money, and cost me some! Anyone know the pros and cons of applying direct to court or going through social services. I know that you don't have to go to Panel if you apply direct to Court. Any advice appreciated....
