	The numbers refer to her re-registration (in this case she would have been re-registered after her adoption was legally granted). The re-registration won't be in the bmd index. Your only hopes really are to register with the adoption sites (similiar to trying to find boards) and to look at the GRO website under 'adoption'. The laws relating to birth family tracing adoptees changed in 2005, you may have to pay towards the intermediary service who handle the case for you.

Any advice would be very much apprecited Kirsty Her name is Sadie Smith born 11/08/68 Salford
