Since the above are one digit apart, it could have been a computer delay, but in future please ONLY ONE THREAD PER REQUEST

This stops people making the same seaches and covering the same ground when they could be 'helping' someone else. ;-)

From the board summary

For people who are adopted, both the family trees of their birth parents and of their adoptive family are of interest, as both sets of people will have had an impact on the person you are. But many people who were adopted and fostered have a burning desire to uncover their birth family and understand their origins. Obviously tracing a birth parent can be a difficult search, both emotionally and practically. People wishing to find the new identity of an adopted relative can hire an intermediary agency through Directgov.

If you were adopted and want to know who your original parents were, contact the adoption authority of your local Social Services. They will arrange for appropriate counselling and you will be shown your original birth certificate, and your adoption papers, which should explain why you were adopted, and perhaps give some helpful details to help you trace your natural parents. There are also two other websites which can help to bring families looking for each other together - http://www.norcap.org.uk/ and http://www.postadoptioncentre.org.uk/Services/adviceline.php.

I am looking for my natural siblings, i was born in 1959 as Tony Roger Kabanez and adopted at 6 weeks old, and not until my late teens was i told i was adopted. Now my adopted parents have passed away, only now am i trying to trace my past, i have found snippets, but seem to come to a standstill on regarding how to locate them, is there any sites, i can find on the internet?
Many Thanks for looking.
