    It sounds like you should have a solicitor who specialises in adoption (under Scots law). http://www.lawscot.org.uk/wcm/lssservices/find_a_solicitor/Core/directory.aspx?

    This link sets out the adoption process in Scotland where a relative is involved. (references are to one particular Scottish local authority, but the basic process will be similar in other areas).

    The child has to be placed with them before they can adopt - they to get the assessment completed and make sure that all parties are aware that they are coming forward to care for the child first.
    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.
