Immigration: Adoption
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they treat children who claim to be adopted differently from those who are not adopted in determining immigration cases; and if so, how many instances of such different treatment there have been in the last five years.
- Answer
-
Children who claim to be adopted are not treated differently to biological children in determining immigration cases.
The UK automatically recognises adoptions from the list of designated countries that can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/intercountry-adoption-information-for-adoption-agencies. The adoption order is required as proof of such adoptions.
