Thanks, Gerry.

I have contacted Nottingham City Council and made an appointment to speak to a social worker.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Emma

Adoption laws changed in December 2005 and now birth family members can make an application for contact. There is a fee for this.

You might like to contact either of these two places

Nottingham City Council
Children’s Services, 2nd Floor, York House, Mansfield Rd, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG1 3NS


Nottinghamshire County Council
Adoption @ Lindens, 379 Woodborough Road, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, NG3 5GX

Check out the website www.adoptionsearchreunion.co.uk
it will help explain what to do. Good Luck with your search.

Cheers Gerry

I have recently found out that I have a half sister. Deborah Anne Carter was born on 4th April 1966 in Nottingham. Deborah was given up for adoption in May 1966. I have no details of new name, all I know is that she was adopted by a family in London. I'm desperate to find her, if anybody has any information or suggestions on how I can locate my sister it would be greatly appreciated.
