	I don't know much about adoption, but I think his mother would have to contact Social Services in Newcastle (if that is where the adoption took place) in order to get access to her adoption records. I don't think your friend will be able to do this himself. Kath. x

His mum was born in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and was adopted. he says that she reckons that the records aren't there. Is there any place/addresses that I could give him to help him start his search? Thanks in advance Carole
