Lagos State does not permit bloodline adoption, but allows guardianship. Again, the process of guardianship is less cumbersome and stressful compared to adoption which takes longer period of time to process. Regards, Kingsley Izimah, Esq

From Greengold Attorneys. We have public and private adoption in the FCT. Adopting your niece will fall under private adoption. Private adoption is less cumbersome and is completed in a shorter time than public adoption. At completion, the adoption order is awarded with which you can travel with your niece.
