I am one of those people who cannot find info on my mothers adoption even though both mum,her birth mother passed over many years ago. My brother has the info but will not let me have it to do mum's side of my tree. Sue |

I am trying to trace a sister who,like me was adopted. Your infomation has provided me with valuable infomation..It looks as though I might have a job tracing her. I do have a copy of her original birth certificate. Any suggestions on where I go from here? |

adoption records The indexes can be found at the Family Records Centre. Adoption registers are indexed by the surname of the adopting parents. There is no cross-reference to the birth surname (although of course on occasion it may be the same – where, for instance, adoption takes place within the same family).This means that it is necessary to know the adopted surname if a meaningful search is to be made of the indexes. Please note that only the adoptee is allowed to apply to see their original birth records and to go on the Adoption Contact Register. Unfortunately for family historians, this might mean that you will not be able to trace your genetic line, if you discover that a parent or grandparent was adopted. If you were adopted through a court in England or Wales, you are entitled to find out information relating to your birth and, if it still exists, have access to your adoption file. For more information see the General Register Office (GRO) adoption pages If you were adopted before 12 November 1975, you must attend a disclosure interview with an approved adoptions worker (in Scotland this is not a requirement). On your original birth certificate you should find out exactly when and where you were born, the name you were given at birth, your mother´s name, your father´s name (if it was given) and the name and possibly relationship to you of the person who registered your birth.
