Haringey London Borough Council v MA [2008] EWHC 1722 (Fam)
Pursuant to para 19 of Sch 2 to the Children Act 1989, permission can lawfully be given for a local authority to arrange for a child to live outside the UK for the purposes of an investigation and assessment of whether or not adoption abroad by the persons with whom the child is to live would be the most appropriate welfare solution for that child throughout his childhood.
