What makes you think you have an adoption? My mother said she was an orphan and was adopted. I took no notice at the time. Too late I questioned this, and eventually found she was raised by her father's eldest brother-- her mother died of TB and I have discovered that there was no-one in her mother's family to take on a baby! This was in 1915. I think you will find that whoever took in the child was a family member. Wendy |

Hi, Adoption wasn't "official" until the 1920s (1928 I think). Before that there were no written records, adoptions were informal, often between family members. Gwynne |
