Can adoption orders be revoked ?
Once made, adoption orders are final and cannot be revoked. However, a further adoption order can be made to remove parental responsibility from the adoptive parents.
There is one exception when it is possible to revoke an adoption order and this is where a child is adopted by one natural parent as the sole adoptive parent and then the child is legitimised by the marriage of his/her natural parents. Either parent can then apply to revoke the adoption order.
