A MOTHER fighting to stop her two-year-old daughter from being adopted against her will has won an adjournment to give her time to apply for legal aid.
The 31-year-old from Halesowen feared she would have to face the adoption hearing without a legal representative after delays in transferring papers after she changed solicitors.
But at Wednesday’s hearing the family court judge granted the adjournment allowing time for the legal aid application to be processed after hearing that the mum - who cannot be named for legal reasons - wanted to argue a change of circumstances.
Afterwards, she described the decision as “brilliant, fantastic news” and is optimistic that she will win her daughter back.
Her five children were taken from her by Dudley Social Services after her ex-partner abused her eldest daughter two years ago. He is now serving a 14 year prison sentence.
She hopes that if she can stop the adoption, she will then be able to win back her other children who are in foster care
