I don't want to start another thread off if there is already one big thread about it, or post at all if not allowed, so can someone point me in the right direction please. Many thanks! |

Gerry Would try putting 'adoption' in the search box at the top of this board and see what comes up. Regards Looby |

Loads of threads on the subject......... can I make a plea? Avoid mentioning names.........be discreet. I'm sure you were going to be............but so many people aren't. Reg |

Please don't take this the wrong way Reg, but how can you make it known who you are looking for if you don't use their names? (I don't mean that in the way it sounds). The three adoptees I am looking for are all over 21, so will have had access to their original birth certificates by now. The only other thing I can think of putting is the circumstances under which they were adopted, which I really don't think anyone would appreciate being known. It's like stating 'I'm trying to find my friend who has blue eyes, blonde hair and is age 30, but I won't tell you their name. Proverbial needle in a haystack! I've been specifically asked by the adoptees natural mother to put their birth names up to search for them (she has no computer access). How can you find people unless you use their names? (Genuine question, not sarcasm!) |

Gerry, the adoption threads are a mine of information for the legal way to find birth children/parents without having to put the names on here, i think this is what reggie means, if you put the names into the search box you will find out if anyone has them on their tree, anyway read through the thread first before you put names up...and Good luck...moe |

Just because these people will have had the opportunity to see their original birth certs doesn't mean that they will have done so......... As the ones who were adopted, they have the right to their privacy...........there may be all sorts of reasons why they may not wish such info to be made public. As you probably are aware, it is GR policy that you do not include on your tree any living persons who have not given you permission to do so.....................the same courtesy should surely apply to adoptees. For all anyone knows, they may not be aware of the fact of their adoption............. There are many ways for the 'mother' to make enquiries...none of which involve putting names on a public forum like this........... Reg |
