You have to register also. I have a feeling this incurs a significant fee, but I could be wrong.

Hope you can copy & paste!

Or just google 'national adoption register contacting relatives' and it will pop up. Easy to spot as it's a government site.

What about contacting NORCAP for advice first? They deal with adoption issues for both adoptees and relatives.

yes it was a formal adoption, how do you find out if they are on the national adoption reg?
thanks

If David wishes to be found he might have registered on the national adoption register, so it might be worth investigating that. I would also try 'search trees' above, and Friends Reunited just in case he is on there.
I am assuming this was definitely a formal adoption?
