Oh, and by the way, Mr. and Mrs. Ritchie have only an interim adoption order - they are to be observed and reviewed over the next 18 months before possibly being granted a full adoption.
So heading back to the OP's question, under the curcumstances, I would think it would be inappropriate for them to have him circumcised at this time since they are not yet his legal parents, only his temporary guardians, until such time as the adoption is finalised.
