latest first- Supreme Court to hear adoption appeal in Dublin Family law (adoption appeal) · Co. Dublin
Ms B, an 18-year-old woman with a moderate learning disability and developmental delay associated with foetal alcohol syndrome, expressed a desire to be adopted by the foster mother who has continuously cared for her since she was a few months old. The High Court refused the adoption in June 2022, but the Court of Appeal overturned that decision by a 2:1 majority in August 2022, finding no reasonable prospect that either biological parent could care for her. The birth mother, who signed a voluntary care order shortly after Ms B's birth, is now appealing to the Supreme Court. A seven-judge panel is due to hear the case on April 18, 2023, considering it raises matters of profound public importance regarding State intervention in family life.
