	There's a thread here that might be some use, Christine - http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1068425 I don't know if you can get access to an adoption file unless it is your own - I have a feeling you can't, and I think also that if the adopted person has now died, for instance, the file is closed and nobody can access it.
