The Adopted Children register is not on line sadly. You have to go to the GRO to look at it, and it is only the 'new names' not any form of cross reference to the 'birth name. The GRO has/or is in the process of moving I think to Kew. There is a contact register that you can leave your name on as 'wanting to find' and/or 'wanting to be found'. You have to pay for both halves separately, and it is purely a matter of luck if someone is looking for you.
Ceri has given me some pointers in my 40 year search which I shall be following after the Easter break - also try Joan Allan who has her details on this site on the Adoption Hints and Hugs thread started by Jess and continued by Bacardi Ice no slice.
Good luck
