• Once you have adopted the child, you may need to make an entry clearance application at the Embassy/ Consulate/ High Commission nearest to where the child is living. The Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) will consider the application and if he is satisfied that the requirements have been met, he will ask the Department for Children, Schools and Families for advice as to whether the adopter has been assessed and approved lawfully. The ECO will also check any papers available relating to the child and how he/she became available for adoption. If there are any inconsistencies or concerns, these will be investigated. • The ECO will consider the application and make a decision about entry clearance.
